I was struggling to put DataTables on my site, due to conflicts. This plugin solved it all!! So much easier than trying to implement it manually. I can’t stress enough how great this FREE plugin is! I will definitely be making a donation to the developer for his hard work…. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Very nice plugin to integrate Datatable to Wordpress.
The great thing about this plugin is it works with any table, even if it is generated outside of wordpress, or with another plugin. I’m not aware of any other plugin that does the same. Also it is based on the the extremely powerful and popular DataTables jquery project. I just hope that the developer gets enough love to keep maintaining the plugin.

Plugin is simple and allows you to style tables beautifully and easily. I am using Formidable Forms that generate tables for me, so I could not use any plugins (TablePress etc.) that require you to create a table or create SQL statement and have it saved within plugin. My tables are generated dynamically by another plugin so none of table plugins worked for me. This plugin allows me to style my tables based on best practices of DataTable for jQuery. But the biggest thing for me was to be able to export data into CSV. Author of plugin graciously agreed to add Buttons extensions to his plugin and I am now able to export to CSV and also Copy table data to clipboard. Overall this is a great free plugin that allows you to do a lot with your table style. Thank you!
