Row Filtering from URL parameter

This TablePress Extension has been retired. It is no longer available.

As an alternative, you can use the Row Filtering module that is available in TablePress Premium plans.


This Extension of the Row Filtering Extension adds a new Shortcode that allows the filter value for the Row Filtering Extension to come from a GET parameter in the URL, instead of having it hardcoded in the Shortcode.

To use it, download, install, and activate both the Row Filtering Extension and this Extension, just like a regular WordPress plugin. Then, on the page where you want to show the pre-filtered table, insert the extended Shortcode

[table_filter id=123 /]

which will automatically filter and return table 123, filtered for the URL GET parameter table_filter, like in the URL

https://www.example.com/?table_filter=myfilterword

This would be the equivalent to using the Shortcode

[table “123” not found /]

with just the Row Filtering Extension — except that the filter term is defined by the parameter table_filter in the URL.

All other parameters for the Row Filtering Extension can still be used. Note that this Extension will do some input sanitization on the table_filter parameter for security reasons, so that only letters and numbers are allowed in it, by default.
