Pop up for filters

    Hi, 

    How can I make the filters come as a popup by clicking a button. I don't want them to appear above the table.

    I have many filters and it is inconvenient to have so many on the page, or scroll them down on mobile, to reach the table.

    Hi Syed,

    Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologize for the delayed response as we have been experiencing an unusually high number of tickets. I am sorry that it has taken longer than usual to respond to your concern and your patience is highly appreciated.

    At the moment, we do not have a way to create a PopUp that could hold all the Table Filters, unfortunately.

    And we also do not have any custom workaround we could share to achieve it.

    For this you can make a development Suggestion.

    Please feel free to search on our suggestions page

     to see if someone may be already suggested this feature. If you can't see it, feel free to add your suggestion there,  and as more people vote, the feature will move higher on the priority list.

    You can certainly follow our changeLog page if you'd like ( it is also available in the plugin dashboard), where we state any changes/new features/bug fixes during updates;

    and our newsletter, so you're informed about new features, bug fixes, freebies, etc.

    If you have coding skills and wish to try to make a custom solution now,

    you can check out our available hooks for Developers on this documentation and see if you can find any hook that might help.

    Please be advised that custom solutions with hooks are not included in our support.

    You can also research resources such as Stack Overflow to see if any other user perhaps found a workaround.

    ( We do like to give examples for certain solutions, but for this use-case, we, unfortunately, don't have anything yet)


    The only alternate way you could try is, with our Advanced filter in a widget (in WordPress sidebar),

    which can place the filters in a SideBar,

    but i am not sure if that will be good for the use-case you described.

    Another way you can try is, to disable the filters above the table option, and maybe use it in the Table Header, or Footer, that way they will be a part of the Table.

    I hope that might help.

    Kind Regards,
