Hi,
There might be an extension for this but I’ve tried a few without success. My table is larger than the width of the browser. I want to allow viewers to select which columns to hide or display with a simple checkbox. Is there a feature like this already?

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

Hi,

thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

The TablePress Extension from https://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-buttons/ comes with a feature (“colvis”) that could be used for this maybe.

Regards,
Tobias

Thanks. I have installed the extension and most the buttons work. But the column visibility doesn’t let me click on anything.

BTW, I have paid for premium and I’m leaving 5 stars. 😉

Hi,

sorry about that. It seems like a CSS command in the theme is interfering. Could you please try adding this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:
```
.dt-button-background {
  display: none;
}
```
Regards,
Tobias

Tried it. Still not clickable. 🙁

I also tried adding it to the “Additional CSS” section of the main theme without success.

Hi,

ah, we need one more change. Please try again with
```
.dt-button-background {
  display: none !important;
}
```
Regards,
Tobias
