Hi Dave

Thank you for reaching out to us.

You can use a placeholder to filter the results that match today's date, by adding this placeholder in the column's settings, filtering tab %CURRENT_DATE%

The responsiveness function will still act the same and displayed the filtered results.

Do let us know if you need any further assistance.

Hi Dave

To be honest, I don't think this is possible, not with the plugin's builtin features at least, but I have forwarded it to our developers to take a look. If they have an example of a custom solution I will forward it straight over to you.

When it comes to hiding the filters you can simply disable the Advanced column filters option from the Sorting and filtering tab in the table settings.

Hi Dave

Here are a few suggestions you can try regarding the table's dynamic filter: 

You can create an SQL query like this

SELECT *
FROM table_name
WHERE table_name.`name_of_column_that_contain_date` = CURDATE()

Like this only rows with current date will be shown .

You can also filter the table with Conditional formatting for that column where is available %TODAY% placeholder. You have to set rules like this where you will set two rules one that is less than %TODAY%  and second that is greater than %TODAY% and set row class for example hide(like in the example)

Then you have to make that class in  Custom wpDataTables CSS under the "Custom JS AND CSS" in the main settings of wpdatatables.

table.wpDataTable tr.hide {
display:none !important;
}

I hope this helps, do let me know if you need any further assistance.
