Based on the DataTables Buttons add-on for the DataTables JavaScript library, this Extension can add even more features to a table, namely buttons for “Copy to Clipboard”, “Save to PDF”, “Save to Excel”, “Save to CSV”, a “Print view”, and “Column Visibility”.

To use this, download, install, and activate the Extension like a regular WordPress plugin. Then, on the page where you want to show the table, insert the extended Shortcode

[table “123” not found /]

and change the 123 to the desired table ID.

The value of that datatables_buttons parameter is a comma-separated list of the buttons that shall be enabled for this table, in the desired order of appearance. The items in the list can be removed, added, or moved as desired. The different values belong to these features/buttons:

• copy: Copy to Clipboard
• csv: Save table to a CSV file
• excel: Save table to an Excel (.xlsx) file
• pdf: Save table to a PDF file
• print: Show a Print view and dialog for the table
• colvis: Show a column visibility button

Here’s an example of the Extension in action, with the Shortcode from above. Notice the extra buttons above the table.
