Love it!

I tested 3 different table plugins and I found WP Table Manager the easiest to use with the most advanced features. For me, the issue with the table plugins I tested, was the responsive display. Highly recommended!

Fast and helpful customer support

My question was answered in less than an hour, with a very accurate reply. I use the plugin to import data from an existing database, that is a bit tricky.

Very useful with Excel support

Useful for cases where the data are managed from a centralized Excel file. I'll be able to collaborate on an Office 365 Sheets and publish it automatically online.

FAQ: WordPress HTML Tables Responsive on Mobile

What responsive modes does WP Table Manager offer for mobile tables?

WP Table Manager has three responsive modes: Scrolling, Hiding Columns, and Repeated Header (Data Header Group), each adapting table display differently based on screen size.

How does the column hiding responsive mode work?

In this mode, columns are prioritized and hidden based on the available screen width, with an option for users to manually show or hide columns using a checkbox menu.

What is the data header group responsive mode?

This mode transforms table rows into grouped header and data blocks when the screen width is small, allowing content to be displayed in a more readable stacked format.

How does the scrolling responsive mode function?

Scrolling mode sets fixed table width and height, enabling horizontal and vertical scrolling with options to freeze a number of columns during horizontal scroll.

Can table cells or columns be frozen in responsive mode?

Yes, all responsive modes can use cell or column freezing to keep key data visible while scrolling or adjusting the table on smaller screens.

How do I choose the best responsive mode for my tables?

The choice depends on your data type and typical device usage. Scrolling suits wide tables, hiding columns is good for hierarchical content, and data header group mode is ideal for readability on narrow screens.
