Custom List Table Example

By Matt van Andel

Description

This plugin serves as a highly documented example of using WordPress’s built-in WP_List_Table class for plugin development. Previously, WordPress plugins
had to be created from scratch and were often wildly inconsistent with the rest of the WordPress admin. This example serves to help clarify use of the
WP_List_Table class for quickly and easily generating consistent, standardized, feature-rich list-tables for WordPress admin screens.

One new admin menu is created: “List Table Example”. This page includes an example table and all the documentation needed to reproduce it. Developers who
open the PHP file itself will find exceptionally well documented code outlining all the information needed to duplicate this feature.

For more information, please visit the WP_List_Tables page in the WordPress Codex.

thanks

this is great. Too bad WordPress changed their policy and don't allow adding new example plugins like this. This is super convenient as a starting point to develop my own plugin <3

Tremendously helpful

Thanks for sharing this. It made it so much easier to implement a proper handling of data sets for a custom plugin. With the clear comments, it's fairly easy to tweak once everything is in place.

What a GEM!!!

This is incredibly helpful, well documented, and such a good example to follow. It really, REALLY helped me dig into the WP_List_Table class as well. Thank you for doing this!
