Search without increasing content length in table

    Hi there,

    Really loving the plugin so far but I have a question which I can’t seem to solve on my own. When I try and search to filter through the table, it only seems to search through the content that is currently being displayed on the table. To be able to search the entire post for filtering the table I would need to change the “content_length” parameter to something much larger to be able to filter the content from the entirety of each post. Is there a way where I can use the table search feature to filter the posts displayed in the table without actually having to change the length of the content on the table? It’s just annoying to have basically the entire post content displayed in the table just to be able to search the content from the posts.

    Thanks for any help!

  • Hi there,

    Thanks for using our plugin ??

    I see what you mean with searching in the post content. It is a bit of a limitation in the plugin at the moment. Without wishing to be too promotional on the plugin forums, we do offer a paid plugin which will achieve this.

    In Posts Table Pro, you can enable a ‘lazy load’ option which will basically load your posts table one ‘page’ at a time to improve load times. This has a side benefit in that when you enter a search term in the box, it will search the whole post content (not just the visible part). This would allow you to have a short content length but still search within everything.

    Hope that helps (sorry it’s a not a feature yet in PT with Search & Sort)….
