Embed beautiful and feature-rich tables into your posts and pages, without having to write code.

== Description ==

TablePress allows you to easily create and manage beautiful tables. You can embed the tables into posts, pages, or text widgets with a simple Shortcode. Table data can be edited in a spreadsheet-like interface, so no coding is necessary. Tables can contain any type of data, even formulas that will be evaluated. An additional JavaScript library adds features like sorting, pagination, filtering, and more for site visitors. Tables can be imported and exported from/to Excel, CSV, HTML, and JSON files.

== 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 other WordPress plugins:

1. [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/tablepress.latest-stable.zip) and extract the ZIP file.
1. Move the folder "tablepress" to the "wp-content/plugins/" directory of your WordPress installation, e.g. via FTP.
1. Activate the plugin "TablePress" on the "Plugins" screen of your WordPress Dashboard.
1. Create and manage tables by going to the "TablePress" screen in the admin menu.
1. To insert a table into a post or page, copy its Shortcode `[table id=<ID> /]` and paste it into a "Shortcode" block at the desired place in the block editor. Each table has a unique ID that needs to be adjusted in that Shortcode.
1. You can change the table styling by using CSS code, which can be entered into the "Custom CSS" textarea on the "Plugin Options" screen.

== Usage ==

After installing the plugin, you can create and manage tables on the "TablePress" screen in the WordPress Dashboard.

To show one of your tables in a post or on a page, embed the Shortcode `[table id=<the-ID> /]` into a "Shortcode" block at the desired place in the block editor. Each table has a unique ID that needs to be adjusted in that Shortcode.

After that, you might want to change the styling of the table. You can do this by entering CSS commands into the "Custom CSS" textarea on the "Plugin Options" screen. Some examples for common styling changes can be found on the [TablePress FAQ page](https://tablepress.org/faq/).
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.
