History and Motivation

Back in 2009, I wanted to show tables, for schedules, rosters, stats, etc., on my baseball team’s website, which is using WordPress. I didn’t want to mess with HTML tables in the code (as they are very hard to maintain and manage), so I decided to try to write a WordPress plugin myself. I did some reading on WordPress plugin development and based on Alex Rabe’s wp-Table plugin, I created “WP-Table Reloaded”, which quickly became popular. Unfortunately, as I had to learn later on, some bad design decisions made the plugin hard to maintain, and could even lead to data loss for certain server configurations. To fix these problems and issues, I decided that a complete rewrite of the plugin was necessary. With that, TablePress was born, and quickly outgrew all expectations I ever had for it 🙂
For more on my motivation, also read this interview that I gave about WP-Table Reloaded and TablePress.

Installation

Installation
The easiest way to install TablePress is via your WordPress Dashboard. Go to the “Plugins” screen, click “Add New”, and search for “TablePress” in the WordPress Plugin Directory. Then, click “Install Now” and wait a moment. Finally, click “Activate” and start using the plugin!

Manual Installation works just as for most other WordPress plugins:

  1. Download the plugin’s ZIP file.
  2. Extract the file: You’ll get a folder called “tablepress”.
  3. Upload that folder to the “wp-content/plugins/” directory on your server.
  4. Go to the “Plugins” page in your WordPress Dashboard.
  5. Find “TablePress” in the list and click “Activate”.

Uninstalling, Deactivation
To completely remove all data, including tables and plugin settings, you can use the “Uninstall” button on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress. It is recommended to create a backup of your site’s database, or to export your tables to files on your computer, just in case that you change your mind.
If you want to keep your tables and data, you can simply deactivate TablePress on the “Plugins” screen of your site’s Dashboard.

Update
WordPress will notify you, when a plugin update for TablePress is available. The easiest way is then to click “Update automatically” to get the latest version. It is recommended to enable Auto-Updates for TablePress, so that new versions will be installed by WordPress automatically.
To manually update, you could download the plugin’s ZIP file and upload it on the “Plugins” screen. Alternatively, delete the old plugin folder on the server, e.g. via FTP, and replace it with the new one, extracted from the freshly downloaded ZIP file.

Usage

After installing the plugin, you can add, import, export, edit, copy, delete, … tables via the “TablePress” section in your admin menu.

To insert a table into a post or page, add a “TablePress table” block in the block editor and select the desired table.

Alternatively, for non-block themes, embed the Shortcode

[table id=<table ID> /]Code language: JSON / JSON with Comments (json)

into your post or page. Each table has a unique ID that needs to be pasted into that Shortcode, instead of the <table ID> part. It can be found on the left side of the “All Tables” screen of TablePress.

To insert a table somewhere else in your theme, you can use a Template Tag function. Please see the Documentation for more information.

After that you might want to change the styling of the table. For that, just enter your desired CSS style information into the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen. Some examples for common styling changes can be found in the plugin FAQ.

You may also add certain features (like Sorting, Pagination, Filtering/Search, Alternating Row Colors, Row Highlighting, Print name and/or description, …) by checking the corresponding checkboxes on the table’s “Edit” screen.

Even more great features for you and your site’s visitors and priority email support are available with a Premium license plan of TablePress.

Languages and Localization

TablePress is available in several different languages. If a translation is available for the language that you have selected for your WordPress installation in the “General Options”, it will be installed and used automatically. For a list of available translations, please see the sidebar on the TablePress page in the WordPress Plugin Directory.

To make TablePress available in your language, go to the TablePress translations page, log in with a free wordpress.org account and start translating.

Credits and Thanks

Special Thanks go to Allan Jardine for the DataTables JavaScript library, and all customers, donors, translators, contributors, supporters, reviewers, and users of the plugin! Thank you!
