Flexible Table Block

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   The Block Settings UI has many options but it is still easy to use to create responsive tables. The ability to add a cell width to a column of table cells is a great way to account for table content. It’s nice that you can easily transform from a Core Table block to a Flexible Table block.

   This is a great plugin, works perfectly and is so quick to use.I would like to ask for an enhancement. The ability to move columns left or right, and rows up or down, essentially to reorder them. thanks. I will send a donation your way.

   Thank you! This is just the ticket. The fancy table plugins are overkill and clutter up the dashboard. I just needed a way to be able to customize tables in blog posts…. simple things like styling cells, highlight rows, spanning columns etc. The flexible table block has it all, plus some nice usability improvements too. Well done. Just what a block plugin should be. 🙏

   Fantastic plugin that provides options that are essential to a proper table editing experience that the core table block does not have, including merging cells and having row headers. I have forked this plugin to make some minor modifications to suit my own needs, and found the code easy to work with to do so. Big thanks to the author and contributors for their work on this and providing it to the community!

   I was looking high and low for a free Table plugin. The one that comes with Gutenberg does not do the job well. it’s a bit limited. So i decided to try those “free”version of paid table plugin like Ninja table and tablepress. the experience is kind of awful with plenty of restrictions unless you pay. While searching for another free plugin , I came across this. I was hesitant but decided to install and give it a try. Basically does everything i want . Thanks.

   All I wanted was a nice table builder that supported merging cells and adding rows and columns. This is exactly that plugin, and the HTML is lovely and clean with no nasty div soup! Great job, well done, five stars and many thanks!
