    Hi Tobias,

    Is it possible to hide specific columns by default, but give visitors the option to un-hide the columns they wish to see.

    An example would be colvis with a default setting.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    You could maybe take a look at the colvis feature of the TablePress DataTables Buttons Extension from https://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-buttons/ for this.
    Then, if you combine that with a “Custom Command” (on the table’s “Edit” screen) like

    "columnDefs": [ { "visible: false, "targets": [ 3, 5 ] } ]

    you could hide columns when the table is loaded and make the visible again later.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi,

    Once again, thanks for the quick answer.

    You actually helped more than you think. With your code and a little research, I now have a better understanding of I can enter into the Custom Commands field and managed to come up with the below piece of code ??

    "dom": "BWlfrtip",
"columnDefs": [ 
	{"visible": true, "targets": [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]},
	{"visible": false, "targets": '_all'},
	{"searchable": false, "targets": [1,2]}
]

    Thanks
