    The DataTables Buttons overrides DataTables ColumnFilterWidgets, so if you have ColumnFilterWidgets active and working on a table, and then you add the datatables_buttons=”colvis,copy,csv,excel,pdf,print” to the table shortcode, then the Buttons show up but the ColumnFilterWidgets are gone.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    The reason for this is that they overwrite a parameter that both are using. To fixt this, you’ll need to add a “Custom Command”: To display both extensions, you need to add:

    "dom": "BWlfrtip"

    in the “Custom Commands” textfield on the “Edit” screen of your table.
    The B stands for the Buttons Extension, the W stands for the ColumnFilterWidgets, according to the DataTables Documenation at https://datatables.net/reference/option/dom

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Ok great, this worked.

    Add it this way if you want the Buttons above the Column Widgets:
    "dom": "BWlfrtip"

    Add it this way if you want the Column Widgets above the Buttons:
    "dom": "WBlfrtip"
