How to use TablePress

To insert a table into a post or page, add a “TablePress table” block in the block editor and select the desired table or use Shortcodes with common page builders.
Beginner-friendly step-by-step tutorials, guides, and how-tos show how to achieve common and popular tasks with TablePress.
Examples for common styling changes via “Custom CSS” code can be found on the TablePress FAQ page.
You may also add certain features (like sorting, pagination, filtering, alternating row colors, row highlighting, print name and/or description, …) by enabling the corresponding checkboxes on a table’s “Edit” screen.

Version 2.4 (July 16, 2024)
New and improved features
- A new “Fuzzy Search” feature module allows the visitor to find similar and not just exact search matches. This is useful when e.g. searching for words with the same pronunciation but different spelling. (TablePress Max only.)
- The “Column Filter Dropdowns” feature module now allows specifying which columns should get a dropdown, and it’s possible to change their order! (TablePress Pro and Max only.)
- Similarly, the “Search Panes” feature module now allows specifying which columns should get a search pane. (TablePress Pro and Max only.)
- The “Fixed Columns” feature module now also allows the visitor to scroll left and right by clicking arrow buttons (see below for more). (TablePress Pro and Max only.)
- The “Row Order” feature module now allows ordering a table by multiple columns at the same time! (TablePress Pro and Max only.)
- The “Server-side Processing” feature module can automatically refresh the shown data after a configured interval, so that the visitor will always see the latest data. (TablePress Max only.)
- The “Row Order” and “Server-side Processing” feature modules now sort non-numeric columns “naturally” and case-insensitive. (TablePress Pro and Max only.)
- The “REST API” feature module now supports pagination and ordering request parameters and sends corresponding HTTP headers for easier integration. (TablePress Max only.)
The “Responsive Tables” and “Fixed Columns” premium modules offer more possibilities
- The “Scroll” mode’s arrow buttons now stick to the top of the page, making them easier to use in long tables.
- In addition, they will now only be shown if a table actually needs horizontal scrolling!
- They also scroll the table in the expected direction now.
- And even better: These scroll arrow buttons are now also available when using the “Fixed Columns” feature module!
- When using the “Scroll” mode, the table name, description, and control elements like the Search now remain in place.
- In the “Flip” mode, the sorting arrows are now properly rotated.
- The “Stack” no longer conflicts with the “Fixed Columns” feature.
- The Safari browser on iOS will no longer unexpectedly change font sizes.
Miscellaneous changes
- TablePress warns that certain activated but retired TablePress Extensions will stop working with TablePress 3.0, later this year.
- TablePress actively prevents conflicts with overwritten menu items in the dashboard’s admin menu.
- The user interface experience on the “Edit” screen was improved.
- The size of “Custom CSS” code will be reduced even further, if the code has comments.
- The “Automatic Table Export” feature module now properly detects automatic periodic table imports. (TablePress Max only.)
- The “Automatic Periodic Table Import” feature module’s configuration screen now has better spacing. (TablePress Max only.)
- The “Server-side Processing” feature module checks for potential conflicts with incompatible features. (TablePress Max only.)
