Columnfilterwidget & Sorting not working with Rowspan

Also, here is a link to the website https://www.adeptmedia.in/resources/wordpress

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

Unfortunately, the DataTables JavaScript library and the add-ons like ColumnFilterWidgets don’t work with tables that have combined cells. You will either have to turn off DataTables and the Extension for this table, or remove all #rowspan#s.
This is a limitation in that JS library and there’s nothing that I can do about this in TablePress. Sorry ??

Regards,
Tobias

Alright, Can you help me out with a solution then.

Column A has file links.
Column B has multiple tags for these files
Example

File 1 HR, Client Servicing, Creatives
File 2 Strategy, Admin, Creatives

I want to filter on the basis of column B. But the filter should show the following options
1. HR
2. Client Servicing
3. Creatives
4. Strategy
5. Admin

And not

1. HR, Client Servicing, Creatives
2. Strategy, Admin, Creatives

How can i achieve this so that if i select HR i only get file 1 but if select Creatives i get File 1 and 2.

Hi,

sure, that should be possible by adding another parameter to the Shortcode:

datatables_columnfilterwidgets_separator=", "
