 * Thanks Tobias for constant support,
    I need help with tablepress, I manage a 
   table, and I need to create a filter that allows me to skim the table. In the
   page use the shortcode of the table and use filter = “my filter”, but this setting
   searches for “my filter” in the whole row, instead I need the filter to be applied
   only to the first column of the table, how can I do?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * For that, just limit the filtering search to that column:
 *     ```
       [table id=123 filter="my filter" filter_columns="1" /]
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
