 * Hi!
 * Got another question… I was going through the extensions to see which I could
   use. I like the buttons, but it’s not allowing me to use the ColumnFilter (drop
   down filters). Am I doing something wrong or do I have to use one or the other?
 * [table id=1 responsive=collapse datatables_columnfilterwidgets=true datatables_columnfilterwidgets_exclude_columns
   =2,3,5 datatables_buttons=”pdf,print” /]
 * Loving this plugin so far!

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Indeed, the TablePress DataTables Buttons and the TablePress DataTables ColumnFilterWidgets
   Extensions are not directly compatible, as they use the same parameter internally.
   To work around that, please try adding
 *     ```
       "dom": "BWlfrtip"
       ```
   
 * into the “Custom Commands” textfield on the “Edit” screen of the table.
 * To switch the order of the controls, you could swap the `B` and the `W` in that
   code.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
