Hi Peter,

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.

I am sorry to disappoint you, but we do not have any way to set up one filter which can apply on multiple tables on the same Page.

Each Table can only have its own/separate set of column filters.

The only way right now, how you can make one 'filter parameter' affect multiple tables on same Page, is via our URL Pre-filtering, please check more how that works here.

So, if you have multiple Tables which have the same Column Header name, and if you add a parameter in the URL which filters some value for this column, if you add a parameter to the end of the Page URL, something like :

?wdt_column_filter[ColumnName]=FilterValue

Then if all tables on Page have a common column name, like you said "User", then this will apply on all tables that have this common/same column.

But that is the only way, we can't have a column filter like a dropdown to achieve it.

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.
