    Hi

    Is there any way to get data dynamically into a table? Like if I wanted to show all posts with a certain category in a table without having to manually add rows to a table?

    Tried something like 

    $the_query = new WP_Query( array('post_type' => 'post', 'post_status' => 'publish') );

tablepress_print_table( $the_query );

    But no luck ??

    Hi,

    thanks for your question.

    No, I’m sorry, this is not possible. TablePress can not be used with dynamic data sources (like the WordPress database) like that. It can only be used with static data that is either typed in or imported from a file.

    As you already have the query, I’d suggest to simply write out the HTML code for a table manually in PHP. If you then want to add the sorting or search functionality, just load the DataTables JS library from https://www.datatables.net (which is the library that TablePress uses) into the page manually.

    Hi Tobias

    Yeah I’m doing that now ?? Is it on the roadmap to add that functionality to TablePress?

    Hi Martin,

    no, sorry, something like that is out of scope for TablePress.
    TablePress does not aim to and can not be a database access or management tool.
