Basis Tables provides a modern table editor inspired by TablePress, with a focus on speed and admin UX:
<ul>
<li>Inline editing: click any cell, type, and it saves automatically via AJAX without page reload</li>
<li>Context menu on right-click: copy/paste, add/delete rows/columns, duplicate, set column values</li>
<li>Column visibility, header sorting, per-column filter icon in header</li>
<li>Modules system to toggle optional features</li>
<li>Accessibility: ARIA live region, keyboard shortcuts (Enter to save cell; Ctrl/Cmd+S for row), compact view</li>
</ul>
Developer-friendly: 
– Nonce-protected AJAX endpoints 
– Migrations ensure DB schema integrity automatically 
– Debug logging built-in (toggleable): see AJAX requests and errors in the console

TablePress – Tables in WordPress made easy


Ich nutze das Plugin nun schon eine ganze Weil und bin immer wieder begeistert, wie einfach man damit Tabellen erstellen und einbetten kann. Dazu kommt, dass der Autor immer wieder neue Funktionen einbaut und das Plugin weiterhin kostenfrei bleibt.



I've been using the plugin for a while now and I'm still amazed at how easy it is to create and embed tables. In addition, the author keeps adding new features while the plugin remains free.






Best Plugin when it comes to tables


Working with TablePress has made it easier to manage data especially when working with hundreds of cells.



No way should one ever work with "plain HTML tables" again! :-)


Intuitive!


Developer solved all my problems, created individual code for my needs and explained everything thoroughly. Great job!


GREAT SUPPORT!!


TablePress 3.0 removed backward compatibility with free extensions. Now you need to use paid version in order for things to work. Someone skilled should fork this. 


Backward compatibility removed in favor of paid version

Embed beautiful, accessible, and interactive tables into your WordPress website’s posts and pages, without having to write code!
