Dynamic Admin Tables

Опис

Dynamic Admin Tables enhances the native WordPress admin interface by adding the powerful DataTables.js engine to your admin tables.

  • Live type-ahead filtering — connected to the existing search box.
  • Clickable column sorting — no full page reload.
  • Pagination — faster display of large post lists.
  • Modern “Dynamic Table by Dynamic Admin Tables” label — integrated into admin UI.
  • Fully native styling — no heavy styles or extra assets.
  • Lightweight — no bloat, no settings pages — just works.

Supported admin tables:

  • Posts
  • Pages
  • Media Library (list view)
  • Custom Post Types

Credits

  • Built with DataTables.js — a fantastic open-source library by SpryMedia Ltd.
  • Development supported and accelerated with the help of ChatGPT, as you can probably tell from all the — (emdashes).

Часті питання

Does this affect the front-end?

No — this plugin only enhances the WordPress admin interface.

Does this work with all Custom Post Types?

Yes — any CPT using a standard admin table (edit.php?post_type=your-cpt) is supported.

Does this replace the built-in search box?

No — it connects to the existing search box, providing live type-ahead filtering.

Does it add settings?

No — Dynamic Admin Tables is intentionally lightweight — no settings needed.

Does it change Screen Options?

Yes — on activation, Dynamic Admin Tables sets “Number of items per page” to All (9999), so that DataTables can handle pagination smoothly.

WordPress is right, I am going to give it a five-star rating, me being the author of the plugin. The reason for doing it is that the plugin doesn’t show up in searches, even when I type in the full plugin name like, “Dynamic Admin Tables.” I am hoping that this seed review would fix it, and make it visible to potential users.
