Description

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

  1. Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/dynamic-admin-tables/
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.

The plugin is updated also by following the same process, preferably from the plugin Admin page where you will see a file-upload form when an update is ready. The first update for your purchased plugin is always free.

Does this replace the built-in search box?

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