 * Hello,
 * At the top of the list, is it possible to have filters that are not visible as
   columns in the list ?
    I mean i need to have dropdown filters at top but don’t
   need to make this column visible. And if i have undertood, the way to display
   a filter at the top is to create a column. So is there a workaround ? thanks

 * You’re correct that there must be a column present in order to add the filter
   drop down. But WordPress has a way to hide columns through the Screen Options
   menu (top right on the overview). It just hides the column from the overview 
   with CSS so they are not visible but still there. This way you could add column
   with our plugin to add the filters but make them invisible.

 * So simple 😉
    As i have multiple users can i apply it for a ROLE or should i 
   do it manually in each account ? thanks a lot !!
