I’m using the following shortcode:

[wpdm_all_packages categories='NPC Minutes' orderby='date' order='desc' cols="page_link|categories|publish_date|download_link" colheads="Title|Category|Date Published|Download"]

and I thought that the table would have a toolbar with search/filter box, and the columns be sortable as per the documentation and the demo here.

However I have a table with no toolbar and not sortable. Is this because I’m using only using the free version of the plugin?

Thanks!

Hello Vicky Perry,

Hope you are well. Thanks for writing to us. Please use jstable=1 in your shortcode parameter, thus I hope it will fulfill your requirements. Please kindly check.

Thank you and regards.

Sorry, just one more question… With jstable=1, it seems to sort the first column by ASC by default. Is there a way so that the default is a different column? I’ve got orderby=’date’ in the shortcode, but it seems to ignore that when I have jstable=1.

Sorting by date should work properly, please kindly share the related URL. If possible, please, give your temporary wp-admin login details in a private reply to check the issue.

Thank you and regards
