This issue arrises because of a couple of problems: 1) WP_List_Table::search_box() inserts the default _wpnonce and _wp_http_referer fields by using wp_nonce_field() without giving you the ability to override and say “I’ve already go a nonce field thanks”. 2) You need to use GET as your method of form submission when subclassing WP_List_Table because WP_List_Table::print_column_headers() only … Read more
