Use a table as output for search results page.

    I was wondering if I can use this plugin to create a table for my search results page.

    I have installed the plugin, but I have no idea how I can replace the default search result pages, where the posts I am searching for are displayed in a table instead of the default page. I was wondering if I can do this with Tablepress, and if so, how?

    Hi,

    thanks for your question.

    No, this is not possible with TablePress, sorry. TablePress tables can not be created dynamically like this, as they need to be created and filled manually in the admin area.
    However, you shouldn’t need TablePress to achieve this, as you’ll just have to modify the “search.php” file in your theme with some custom PHP code. Within “The Loop” that is in there, you’d need to change the HTML markup to create a table.
    If you want, you can then also add the sorting functions, etc., manually, by adding the DataTables JS library.

    Regards,
    Tobias
