The Shortcode

[table id=N /]Code language: JSON / JSON with Comments (json)

can be used to display a table in a post, on a page, or in a text widget, in cases where using the “TablePress table” block is not possible or desired. While editing the content into which a table shall be embedded, the Shortcode serves as a placeholder for that table.

See the Configuration parameter reference for a list of available Shortcode parameters.

The Shortcode accepts different parameters which customize and configure the table that will be printed in the place of the Shortcode. Shortcode parameters follow the syntax name=value and can be added in arbitrary order, like

[table id=1 alternating_row_colors=false table_head=0 /]Code language: JSON / JSON with Comments (json)

The id parameter is required, as it defines which table is to be shown. All other parameters are optional. If a parameter is added, it overwrites the corresponding Table Option from the “Edit” screen of that table. For most use cases, it is recommended to change the setting in question by using the corresponding checkbox on the “Edit” screen of the table.

All available Shortcode parameters are documented in the Configuration parameter reference.
