    Hi,
    Great plugin! I got it working with basic options. I would like to have an option to export data to excel / csv and possibly to pdf (Buttons extension). Are those included into your plugin? How would I go about adding those options to my table?
    Thank you!

    Hi Veronica, Did you find how to make this work? I’m trying to use columnsToggle which uses buttons and haven’t been able to get it working yet.

    Hi,
    I contacted plugin developer and he graciously agreed to add buttons functionality to this plugin within a week or so. I am waiting! I will update here once it is done.

    This is from the author:
    Get plugin from https://github.com/samsk/wp-datatable.
    Add fat=”1″ to shortcode to enable bigger DT.

    He will be updating it here as well.

    I have not tested yet, planning to do it within couple of days. 🙂 Hope it helps!

    Latest plugin with added Buttons extension and export to csv/excel has been released as version 0.2.3.
    For usage of Button extension see manual – https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/.

    ie.

    
[wp-datatable id="mtable" fat="1"]
    dom: 'Bfrtip',
    paging: true,
    responsive: true,
    ordering: true,
    buttons: [
        'copy', 'csv'
    ]
[/wp-datatable]

    Note that this plugin only provides datatables functionality for your tables, to configure each table to your needs, you have to consult manual of datatables and its extensions (https://datatables.net/manual/index), and use proper config options inside of shortcode.
