I’m happy to announce that a new major release of TablePress is now available! TablePress 3.1 brings exciting new features and changes!

The new release will show up as an automatic update in the WordPress Dashboard for existing users shortly. The new version can also be downloaded from the WordPress Plugin Directory as well as directly in your WordPress admin dashboard.

TablePress 3.1 is a major feature, stability, maintenance, and compatibility update. Here are the highlights.

Improved Frontend Table Performance

• Users of the Elementor page builder plugin can now use a dedicated “TablePress table“ widget that makes embedding tables even easier!
• Showing tables in tabs or accordions will no longer break their size or add visual glitches!
• Tables and their interactivity features are more accessible for visitors with disabilities and users of assistive technologies, with improved labelling and easier-to-use keyboard navigation!

Users with a TablePress Max license get to enjoy a new feature module:

• Email Notifications: Get email notifications when certain actions are performed on tables!

Many existing feature modules also received great enhancements:

• Responsive Tables: The styling and highlighting of rows and child rows when using the “Collapse“ mode has been improved to make it even easier to see which data belongs together!
• Advanced Pagination Settings: Use a “Show more“ button instead of classical pagination for improved visitor engagement!
• Column Filter Dropdowns: You can now turn on classical single-selection dropdown controls for a more solid user experience!
• Row Filtering: A new syntax that understands complex logic expressions gives Row Filtering superpowers!
• Row Highlighting and Cell Highlighting: Highlighting cells and rows is now possible with complex logic and math expressions, for even more control!

Behind the scenes

• Security fix: Authenticated Stored XSS (CVE-2025-2685). Thanks to SavPhill and the Wordfence team for following responsible disclosure policies when reporting this issue!
• Several minor bugs and inconsistencies have been fixed and improved!
• Cleaned up and simplified code, for easier future maintenance, to follow WordPress Coding Standards, and to offer helpful inline documentation.
• Updated external libraries to benefit from enhancements and bug fixes.
• Automated code compatibility checks and build tools simplify chores for easier development.
• Improved support for PHP 8.4.

Enjoy the new release of TablePress!
