Hi Christoph,
Thank you for your purchase.

This looks like a conflict with some other plugin or theme, because everything you see in the backend you that should be exactly the same in the front.

Please provide me a temporary WP-admin login for your site where this happens, so we could log in and take a look ‘from the inside’ as that’s the most efficient way to see and resolve the issue. We do not interfere with any data or anything else except for the plugin (in case that’s a production version of the site), and of course we do not provide login data to third party. You can write credentials here just check Private Reply so nobody can see them except us.

Best regards.

HI Christoph,

Can you please check now.

The issue is with the bootstrap so I just went to wpDataTables settings page and uncheck these 2 options

and select boxes should work now.

As for other question something like this is not possible to achieve with the plugin built in features, but you can check our Add-on called Powerful filters on this link.

There are some examples, and as well there is an option to hide the table until you enter some in the filters and click on the search button.

The only difference will be that it will not redirect on other page ( like in your example) instead the table will be on the same page.

Hope this can help you out.

Best regards.

Hello Christoph.

You may be able to create a custom search box, but this is not included in the plugin's support, since it is considered as a Custom Solution. You can take a look at our hooks and filters, and see if there's anything there that could help you out with this.

As for translating the "Clear Filters" button text, you can find it in this file:

../wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/source/class.wpdatatable.php 

"Clear filters" is around line 3154:

array(
   'text' => __('Clear filters', 'wpdatatables'),
   'className' => 'wdt-clear-filters-button DTTT_button DTTT_button_clear_filters'
);

So, you can change 'Clear filters' to whatever you want.

I hope this helps.

Best regards.

Hi again Chris.

Yeah, when you change that it will get overwritten when an update occurs.

I have encountered several customers that use WPML with success, so I believe it could be done without having to go through this step each time an update occurs. I haven't tried it personally, but I haven't had any complaints that WPML doesn't translate some strings. Loco Translate and POEdit - yes, but WPML - no.

Best regards.

Hi again Chris.

I believe you're trying to filter by "Haus" column, right?

You need to have filtering enabled for that column, though. You can hide the filter from front-end if you want, with CSS, but you do need to have it enabled. And I believe this would be the correct URL after you do:

http://vierhochvier.de/wohnungsfinder/?wdt_column_filter[3]=A

If you wish to hide it, and have difficulties locating the right CSS selector, just let me know, and I'll take a look.

As for the hook, unfortunately no.

Best regards.

Hi again Christoph

I asked for remote access on another ticket of yours, so when you provide that I'll take a look at the file. Please make sure you have the Plugin Editor enabled.

Best regards.

Hi again Christoph.

That was my bad. I forgot it was changed with the last update.

The file that needed to be changed was wpdatatables/templates/frontend/filter_form.inc.php, around line 30:

<div class="wpDataTableFilterSection" id="wdt-clear-filters-button-block">
                    <button class="button btn wdt-clear-filters-button" data-table_id="<?php" echo="" $this-="">getId() ?>><?php _e(' FILTER ZURÜCKSETZEN', 'wpdatatables'); ?></button>
                </div>

This works fine now:

Once again - I apologize for missing it on the first try.

Best regards.
