TablePress does not show export buttons

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

Please make sure that the “Use DataTables” checkbox on the table’s “Edit” screen is checked. The checkboxes for the individual features can then be turned off.
Please also clear the cache of your CSS/JS caching and optimization plugin.

Hi,

to move them to the footer, you can add this to the “Custom Commands” text field on the table’s “Edit” screen:

"dom": "lfrtipB"

As for the icons: I recommend to use CSS code to add these as background images to the buttons. For example, you could add this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:

.dataTables_wrapper .buttons-pdf {
  background: ...;
}

(This would have to be adjusted to have an image URL.)

Hi,

please try adding

.dataTables_wrapper .buttons-pdf span {
  display: none;
}

to hide the text, and

border: none;

to the other CSS block to remove the border.

Hi,

the problem here is that this table uses #rowspan# to merge/connect cells in a column. Unfortunately, the external DataTables JavaScript library and the Buttons Extension are not compatible to that. If you want to use that, you must remove all #rowspan# from the table.

Hi,

yes, if you want to use any of the JavaScript features, like search, sort, or the buttons, you can not merge columns/cells in this table. It’s just not supported by the external JavaScript library that TablePress uses. Sorry for not having better news here.
