WP_List_Table WordPress Class
The WP_List_Table class is a core class in WordPress that is used to generate HTML lists for displaying data in a tabular format. This class is typically used to display data in the admin area, but can also be used in the front-end of a WordPress site. The WP_List_Table class is highly customizable and can be used to display any type of data.
WP_List_Table #
Base class for displaying a list of items in an ajaxified HTML table.

More Information
Note: This class’s access is marked as private. That means it is not intended for use by plugin and theme developers as it is subject to change without warning in any future WordPress release. If you would still like to make use of the class, you should make a copy to use and distribute with your own project, or else use it at your own risk.
Role of WP_List_Table
This class is used to generate the List Tables that populate WordPress’ various admin screens. It has an advantage over previous implementations in that it can be dynamically altered with AJAX and may be hooked in future WordPress releases.
Developer Usage & Private Status
On March 27, 2012, Andrew Nacin warned developers that this class was created for private core use only as it may be subject to change in any future WordPress release.
Nevertheless, the WP_List_Table class has become widely used by plugins and WordPress developers as it provides a reliable, consistent, and semantic way to create custom list tables in WordPress. To date, no major changes have occurred in this class or are scheduled to occur, so testing your plugin with beta/RC phases of WordPress development should be more than enough to avoid any major issues.
If you are at all uncomfortable with this risk, a common (and safe) workaround is to make a copy the WP_List_Table class ( /wp-admin/includes/class-wp-list-table.php ) to use and distribute in your plugins, instead of using the original core class. This way, if the core class should ever change, your plugins will continue to work as-is.
Developers should use this class at their own risk.
Usage
This class is meant to be used as a kind of framework, since any data queries need to be loaded, sorted, and filtered manually. Nevertheless, it is potentially a very powerful tool for developers as it creates WordPress-standard list tables, which makes it very easy to implement advanced features like pagination, actions, bulk actions, and filtering.
To use the WP_List_Table, you first create a new class that extends the original. Your new class must be instantiated, and the prepare_items() and display() methods called explicitly on the instance. See the method descriptions below for more details.
In the WordPress Core
The WordPress core loads and returns its classes dynamically by using the _get_list_table() function, which automatically loads the appropriate extended class and instantiates it. This is a private function, however, and should not be used by developers.
Developer Usage
Since this class is marked as private, developers should use this only at their own risk as this class is subject to change in future WordPress releases. Any developers using this class are strongly encouraged to test their plugins with all WordPress beta/RC releases to maintain compatibility.
Since developers cannot use the _get_list_table() function directly, the class needs to be extended and instantiated manually, like so…
class Example_List_Table extends WP_List_Table {}
$example_lt = new Example_List_Table();
The above example won’t be able to output anything meaningful, however, as several methods MUST be specified (as well as your data) in order for WP_List_Table to render a useful table.
Methods and Properties
Please refer source code for the complete lists of methods and properties. Below description may cover some of them.
Properties
The following properties are built into the base WP_List_Table class. Note that the magic methods __get and __set of WP_List_Table will prevent setting other class instance variables in a subclass of WP_List_Table, please use the recommended variables:
- $items
- This is used to store the raw data you want to display. Generally you will set this property directly in the prepare_items() method.
- $_args
- Stores various information about the current table (as an array). This generally isn’t manipulated directly.
- $_pagination_args
- Stores information needed for handling table pagination (as an array). This generally isn’t manipulated directly, but rather used with get_pagination_arg( string ) or set_pagination_args(array).
- $screen
- This can be used to store the current screen, when it’s necessary to keep it consistent with the entire instance.
- $_actions
- Stores cached bulk actions. This generally isn’t manipulated directly.
- $_pagination
- Stores cached pagination output. This generally isn’t manipulated directly.
Extended Properties
These properties are not built-in, but are expected by several class methods. You must define them manually in your extended class.
- $_column_headers
- In core, this property is assigned automatically. Developers must manually define it in their prepare_items() or __construct() methods.
- This property requires a 4-value array :
- The first value is an array containing column slugs and titles (see the get_columns() method).
- The second value is an array containing the values of fields to be hidden.
- The third value is an array of columns that should allow sorting (see the get_sortable_columns() method).
- The fourth value is a string defining which column is deemed to be the primary one, displaying the row’s actions (edit, view, etc). The value should match that of one of your column slugs in the first value.
Extended Methods
These methods are not included in the base class but can, and should, be defined in your extended class!
- column_default( $item, $column_name )
- This is method that is used to render a column when no other specific method exists for that column. When WP_List_Tables attempts to render your columns (within single_row_columns()), it first checks for a column-specific method. If none exists, it defaults to this method instead. This method accepts two arguments, a single $item array and the $column_name (as a slug).
- NOTICE: As of WordPress 3.5.1, in core $item is passed an Object, not an array.
- column_$custom( $item )
- Custom columns must be provided by the developer and can be used to handle each type column individually. For example: if a method named column_movie_title() were provided, it would be used to render any column that had the slug “movie_title“. This function accepts one argument – a single $item array.
- NOTICE: As of WordPress 3.5.1, in core $item is passed an Object, not an array.
