Powerful Filters for wpDataTables – Cascade Filter for WordPress Tables 1.4.5

🌟 Powerful Filters for wpDataTables – Cascade Filter Addon for WordPress

Powerful Filters is a multifunctional addon for wpDataTables that significantly extends the default filtering capabilities of WordPress tables. It allows you to create dynamic, cascading, and advanced filters, giving your users a seamless and highly interactive table-searching experience.

This addon is ideal for large datasets, catalogs, or any WordPress table where advanced filtering improves usability and data exploration.

🚀 Key Features

✅ Cascade Filtering – Dependent (Left-to-Right)

• Filter options appear in order from left to right.

• Each next filter’s options are narrowed down based on the previous selection.

• Next filters remain disabled until a selection is made in the preceding filter.

✅ Cascade Filtering – Independent (Free)

• Apply cascading filters without strict left-to-right order.

• Users can select any filter first, and it dynamically narrows down other filters.

• Works similarly to Excel or Google Spreadsheet filter behavior.

✅ Hide Table Before Filtering

• Display only filters initially and keep the table hidden until a selection is made.

• Ideal for large catalogs or datasets where showing all data upfront is not necessary.

• Filters must be rendered outside the table to enable this feature.

✅ Search Button Option

• By default, tables update live with every filter change.

• With this option, tables update only when the Search button is clicked.

• Requires filters to be rendered in a form outside the table.

✅ Disable Search Button Until All Filters Are Selected

• Ensures users select options in all filters before applying them.

• Works in combination with the Search button feature.
