WSU uses a plugin called TablePress to create and manage tables in WordPress.

• TablePress can be access via the Dashboard of all F&A sites.
  • If you don’t see the option, please reach out to FAIS!

Creating a new table:

A new table can be created by:

• Selecting the “Add New” option from within the TablePress dashboard
  • Enter:
    • A Table Name
    • Description (optional)
    • The Number of Rows
    • The Number of Columns

• Once the table has been created it will generate something called a TableID.
• To insert a table into a page, post, or text widget, copy its Shortcode and paste it at the desired place in the editor.
  • Each table has a unique ID that needs to be adjusted in that Shortcode. You can also click the “Table” button in the editor toolbar to select and insert a table.
    • Shortcode:
      • [tableid=# /]

 

Editing a Table:

• Tables can also be edited directly from the website.
  • When viewing the table directly from the page there will be an “Edit” option below and to the left of the table.
  • NOTE: The “Edit” option is only visible if the user is logged in AND has access to edit the site that has the table on it.
