Premium styling

Premium styling allows plugin users to use pre-defined color schemas in combination with adjustable style settings. This feature is directly available from Data Tables within the publication styling section and does not require any technical skills.

  • Use the Style Manager to customize premium styles

Notes #

  • Do not use global styling with premium styling
  • This feature can be used to style data tables only, projects require different styling

      Hi Ken Kim,

      You can add your own buttons using the Code Manager, but I would recommend to use search panes for your use case. Please check out this page:
      https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/data-tables-interactive-filters/search-panes/

      Thanks,
      Peter

          Hi Ken,

          You can download the Code Manager here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-manager/

          Please use the code example I mentioned before to access your database tables.

          Hope this helps,
          Peter

    When I style a table and then add that table as a widget to a dashboard, I loose the styling, specifically the color of the rows.

      Custom styling is currently not supported on dashboards. Sorry! All dashboard widgets are styled using jQuery UI smotthness to maintain a consistent layout. There are plans to brings dashboards to front-end pages. That’s when we’ll add custom styling to dashboard widgets as well.
