Hi David,

Thank you for your interest in wpDataTables.

This notice is only for server side tables. If you turn it on filtering will work fine because all entries are on the page and for filtering, sorting is responsible Datatable engine(jQuery plugin on which is based wpDataTables)

For server side we are getting data that are based on Gravity API that do not have functions for filtering or sorting by specific column, so we are using available functions that are puling data with custom long queries (on there side there a different logic for saving different input fields ) which may cause different results or not result at all.

At the moment there are priority tasks that have to be done, but this is something that we will be considered in future based on users requests.

We constantly strive to make our product better, and deliver the most value for our end users - so please share your feedback on what features you need on this link.

Best regards.
