Master-Detail Tables for wpDataTables 2.0.3
Master-Detail Tables for wpDataTables lets you reveal hidden columns with a single click, so large tables stay clean while providing complete data. This WordPress plugin adds a seamless master-detail experience, improving usability and engagement.
Description
Master-Detail Tables for wpDataTables is a WordPress plugin/add-on that helps you handle data-heavy tables without cluttering your layout. When your tables include many columns, fitting all fields into a page can make the design look messy or harder to read. This plugin lets visitors reveal complete row details on demand.
Instead of permanently showing every column, you can keep the main table clean and use a simple click to open a master-detail view for each row. That way, site visitors can access the full dataset when they need it, while the table remains usable and visually consistent inside your WordPress content.
