TablePress – Tables in WordPress made easy

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

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

1172 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 964 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

   I’ve been using this to import Excel sheets. It’s worked really well and provides a lot of options. The one time I couldn’t get it to work, support identified the issue very quickly, which turned out to be a hidden problem in the spreadsheet I wanted to import. I will 100% turn to this plugin whenever I have tabular data to display.

   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!

   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.

   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 🙂
