Title: Filter functionality Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Filter functionality * Resolved [Karol Nowak](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karol-nowak/) * (@karol-nowak) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/filter-functionality/) * Hi Tobias * Fantastic plugin! I’m just wondering if you’d be able to develop such a functionality as “filter” in Excell 2010, where different columns can be filtered respectively? * Vielen Dank 🙂 Karol * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tablepress/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tablepress/) Viewing 15 replies - 16 through 30 (of 37 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/filter-functionality/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/filter-functionality/?output_format=md) 2 [3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/filter-functionality/page/3/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/filter-functionality/page/3/?output_format=md) * [rvbhit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rvbhit/) * (@rvbhit) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/filter-functionality/page/2/#post-3144679) * I would if I could but it is being served from my company’s intranet.

I’ve now moved that folder to my plugins directory. The plugin is still not showing up. * I’ve cleaned up my plugins directory; I now only have 11 plugins activated and I’ve removed all of my deactivated plugins. * All 11 plugins (as well as before when I had 17 activated plugins) are displayed on one page. * Thank you so much for working with me, Brad * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/filter-functionality/page/2/#post-3144682) * Hi Brad, * thanks a lot for testing all this! * We could try a different method to install the plugin. Instead of loading it to the server manually via FTP, we could try the ZIP upload method in WordPress. For that, I’d like to send you a ZIP file version of the plugin that I have tested on my site, and that is working nicely. So, please contact me by email, so that I can send you the plugin. * Tobias * [cajos1968](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cajos1968/) * (@cajos1968) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/filter-functionality/page/2/#post-3144732) * Just a general question. Is this the way you install all other plugins? I have a hard time finding that information. * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/filter-functionality/page/2/#post-3144733) * Hi, * me? I’m usually installing all plugins directly from the repository (the one click install). On my local dev machine, I sometimes also just install them by copying them to the appropriate directory (similar to the FTP method, but only in the local file system). For non-local sites, I use the ZIP upload mechanism for plugins that are not in the WP plugin repository. * Regards, Tobias * [malinator](https://wordpress.org/support/users/malinator/) * (@malinator) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/filter-functionality/page/2/#post-3144735) * sorry for bad english i have a such problem as already was written i can’t see additional plugin at list but i all do right can you help me? * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/filter-functionality/page/2/#post-3144736) * Hi, * which plugin are you talking about?

This probably happened, because my instructions in the thread were ambiguous. To fix this, install and activate the plugin from [https://github.com/downloads/TobiasBg/TablePress-Extensions/tablepress-datatables-multi-filter-select.zip](https://github.com/downloads/TobiasBg/TablePress-Extensions/tablepress-datatables-multi-filter-select.zip) instead of doing it manually. * Regards, Tobias * [Matt317](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matt317/) * (@matt317) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/filter-functionality/page/2/#post-3144755) * Hello Tobias, Great extension ! One more question about this (if you need an other thread, don’t hesitate to tell me). * Is it possible to use datatables-multi-filter-select with your Responsive Tables extension ? * I would like to filter my data with dropdown menus in your responsive table, but I don’t no if it’s possible. * Thanks a lot ! Best Regards Matt * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/filter-functionality/page/2/#post-3144756) * Hi Matt, * thanks for your question. * To be honest, I don’t know, I haven’t tried using both of these together. I can’t really think of a reason why this shouldn’t work, right now. Have you tried it? * If that Multi-Filter-Select Extension does not work, you could take a look at the ColumnFilterWidgets Extension, which will add this: [http://datatables.net/extras/thirdparty/ColumnFilterWidgets/DataTables/extras/ColumnFilterWidgets/](http://datatables.net/extras/thirdparty/ColumnFilterWidgets/DataTables/extras/ColumnFilterWidgets/) To use that, just install and activate [http://tablepress.org/download/extension/tablepress-datatables-column-filter-widgets.zip](http://tablepress.org/download/extension/tablepress-datatables-column-filter-widgets.zip) as a plugin and extend the Shortcode to * ``` [table id=123 datatables_columnfilterwidgets=true /] ``` * (and also leave the desired responsive parameter in it). * Regards, Tobias * [Matt317](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matt317/) * (@matt317) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/filter-functionality/page/2/#post-3144759) * Thanks Tobias !
