Perfect!
By thedrewseum on March 27, 2026
This plugin does exactly what I needed - clean tables that work well on mobile. Plus the customer support is A+!
Such an upgrade to online tables!
By kmolony on March 27, 2026
We purchased this mainly so we can link an excel doc directly to a table on our site, and it has surpassed our expectations. Non-web people can make updates to the spreadsheets and have them immediately updated on the site. Users can then view those tables on their phones easily, filtering down to exactly what they need, without fighting the dreaded spreadsheet formatting. Plus, the support is top notch. I had a few questions that I emailed in and the response was quick, detailed and so helpful. I highly recommend to anyone that needs to display data on their websites!
Tablepress is highly adaptable
By yomomoyo on January 11, 2026
Extremely flexible and the support is excellent. Highly recommended!
TablePress Plugin
By wilstyx on December 28, 2025
Support is 1000%, they helped me get the TablePress plugin working perfectly. If your having problems with tables not showing check with you Hosting Co. There may be a block on some of the files that TablePress relies on. Only negative (well to me) is that you can't build a form to update the table. But it lets you import and append so you can Construct the record in a text file with commas for delimiter. The go to the Import and chose the Table you want to append to, Done Basically easier than a form! Also make sure you pay attention to quotes double quotes Basically any malformed HTML will cause some really strange behavior. A Great Plugin with great support.
Great Plugin, Kind Support
By alduinwf on December 28, 2025
I've been using this plugin since like forever, and it fulfills everything you could ever ask for from a table plugin. Strongly recommended!
In case you do have a question or other assorted trouble, the support is quick to respond and very kind. Had a pleasant experience.
Thank you for all the work and the functionality that even the free version provides 🙂
Everything you could ask for in a table plugin
By benamdii on December 25, 2025
Versatile plugin, it's worth getting the pro version. Tobias is amazing!!
Best Table Plugin for WordPress!
By Trish (Trible) on December 22, 2025
Tobias has been sooooo helpful in getting my table tweaked to match what I needed it to look like.
I'm over the moon with the quality of support he provides for his plugin, which is far beyond that I've experienced with other plugins.
This plugin is by FAR the BEST TABLE plugin for WordPress!
Excellent software - does exactly what it says.
By Jason (jrfarris) on December 18, 2025
Our company has been using TablePress for about a year now. This program is excellent and has many options to help you customize it just as you need. Easy to understand and use.
The support is EXCEPTIONAL. Tobias is extremely responsive and went above and beyond to help us get our table working exactly how we wanted upon initial setup. A year later we ran into a problem (turned out to be a server issue, not TablePress) -- Tobias was on top of it, once again going above and beyond.
Highly recommended!
Easy installation, great tech support
By netdweeb on November 29, 2025
The add-in gives me new functionality that I am already using. I opened a ticket for an issue I had before upgrading the add-in. Tobias responded immediately and worked with me until it was resolved - this included several rounds of emails and sending me CSS code for a resolution. Great support!
List.ly replacement Tablepress
By craig.keefner on October 31, 2025
Great replacement for online database. List.ly shuts down this month. Better. Very good support too
I use very few plugins on my 25 sites (less than 10 per site and mostly same template). I've added tablepress to default.
Be careful with WP Rocket options. Tables are always problematic but not here. Mobile and desktop great with scrolling and sorting.

- The “Save Changes” and “Preview” buttons are now always visible in the header bar, no matter where you are on the page!
