How to insert a table in WordPress. A client of mine wanted to add a table within their wordpress site, so I wanted to share with your how you can do this.
There are few ways to do this.
As usual there’s a plugin for that, this is useful if you don’t know html.
The TinyMCE Advanced plugin extends the functionality of the default WYSIWYG editor. The plugin lets you easily add tables, but also other formatting options.
Using TinyMCE Advanced
Install the TinyMCE Advanced plugin from WordPress Plugin Directory. Activate it and go to Settings -> TinyMCE Advanced. You’ll see drag and drop the icons to arrange/delete buttons. The table menu item is a group of 11 buttons:
This is what the buttons look like fairly similar to microsoft wordpress buttons.
WP-Table Reloaded
WP-Table Reloaded plugin enables you to create and manage tables in your WP’s admin area. No HTML knowledge is needed
The easiest way is through your WordPress Admin area. Go to the plugin section and search for “WP-Table Reloaded” in the WordPress Plugin Directory. Then you can click “Install” and the following steps will be done for you automatically. You just have to activate the plugin. You might want to add styling features via the option in the “Plugin Options” screen, where you can enter your CSS directly.
Another way I’ve found to add a table is using Microsofts Frontpage, if you still have that you can simpley create your table and copy and paste the code into your wordpress post or page, when you do this make sure your poste or page is in html editor.
Hope that helps
