This is my current layout in the image below. I have annotated the picture to demonstrate the desired layout changes, but I am struggling to implement them. Everything below the "New Post" button (buttons, pagination, search, table, etc.) is generated by DATATABLES. I attempted to manipulate the DOM without success.
The desired layout can be viewed here.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#table-mh-admin-blog').DataTable({
dom: '<Blfr<t>ipl>',
buttons: [
'copy', 'excel', 'pdf', 'print'
],
select: true,
"order": [
[4, "asc"]
],
stateSave: true,
});
});<div class="row ">
