    I find your plugin very useful and it works well however I can’t find any information about exporting admin-columns settings and importing them back… say in case I need to restore a site. I don’t want to have to manually set columns for all content types every time I need this feature.

    Is it available in pro version?

    Also,, it would be nice to be able to concatenate two fields,,, so you can have columns that, for example, combine first and last name, if you have those in custom fields. Action buttons would then nicely align under the concatenated string.

    Also, applying the class that makes the first column items emboldened, like the default title, is something that seems to be needed. A piece of content doesn’t always have to rely on a title to be the defining column,

    Thanks for your feedback and I’m glad you like our plugin. All column information is stored in the database and there is no way of migrating this information to a live environment, other by doing an SQL migration. But we do have an import/export feature in our pro version. You can find more information about this feature on our website.

    At this moment we don’t have a column that can concatenate multiple values by user input. We do have some columns were we already combine some field, by coincidence we do have this for first name / last name in our author column or any other column that can show related user information. I’m not sure if a column that can concatenate information by the input of a user is ideal. I think it will be a complex column to work with and we have to find a good interface for it. I’ll put it on our requested feature list but cannot guarantee that we will come up with a solution for this.

    Even when you removed the primary column (in most cases the title column) a new first column will become the primary column. It is even possible to change the primary column with a WordPress hook. the primary column has a CSS class ‘column-primary’ for every table cell so you can style this one yourself. Since WordPress chooses not to make the primary column value bold by default, we won’t change this in our plugin. We want to alter the base logic of the complete overview too much. But the following CSS will make the primary column in the list table bold. You could use this in your own admin CSS file if you have one.

    .wp-list-table td.column-primary { font-weight: bold; }
