<p>Here’s how I recommend using the class.</p>
<ol>
<li>Either activate this plugin, or include the class in your own plugin file.</li>
<li>When you start to render the page with the post list, define some columns and then instantiate the class:<br />
$cols = array(<br />
    array(<br />
        ‘name’      => ‘restaurant_name’,<br />
        ‘title’     => ‘Restaurant Name’,<br />
        ‘css_class’ => ‘restaurant-name’,<br />
        ‘is_default’    => true<br />
    ),<br />
    array(<br />
        ‘name’      => ‘cuisine_type’,<br />
        ‘title’     => ‘Cuisine Type’,<br />
        ‘css_class’ => ‘cuisine-type’,<br />
        ‘default_order’ => ‘desc’<br />
    )<br />
);<br />
$sortable = new BBG_CPT_Sort( $cols );</li>
<li>As you render your table, you can use all sorts of fun methods to create column headers. Example:</li>
</ol>
<p>        have_columns() ) : ?><br />
            have_columns() ) : $sortable->the_column() ?><br />
                <th class="the_column_css_class() ?>”><br />
                    <a href="the_column_next_link( ‘url’ ) ?>”>the_column_title() ?></a></p>
<p>        …</p>

<p>Feel free to add as many columns and rows as you want—inserting rows and columns is extremely easy.</p>
<p>You have a few options to make your table stand apart. First, choose one of the three color schemes: standard, purple, or black. Second, choose your table design: default or custom. Block, left, and inline-block are the floating modes for your table. Finally, enable or disable the full width of the table.</p>
<p>Once you finish your table, name it and save it. All you have to do now is to copy the shortcode and paste wherever you want, you can for example embed it in the Gutenberg Shortcode Block! (It works in the classic WordPress editor too)</p>

<h3>Why use a HTML table</h3>
<p>Displaying data within a comparison table is beneficial for not only readers but also content creators. A table does a better job than long paragraphs of text, underlined phrases, and bulleted lists. It shows a lot of information side by side in a concise format. Bloggers and content creators should create tables and insert the data. There’s no need to search for breathtaking expressions, cool descriptions, or digestible lists of items. It’s just pure data, and everyone is happy with this situation. You can read our full guide on <a href="https://superbthemes.com/how-to-add-a-table-to-your-wordpress-website/" rel="nofollow ugc">How to Add a Table to Your WordPress Website</a> with Superb Tables.</p>
<h3>Responsive Tables</h3>
<p>We developed Superb Tables mobile friendly by taking responsiveness into account, and as a result, you can make a WordPress table responsive by using our plugin. The tables are fully responsive regardless of the number of rows and columns. The plugin works on all mobile devices and tablets (iPhone, Android etc.). The plugin works with AMP.</p>
<h3>SEO Friendly WordPress Tables With Schema Markup</h3>
<p>“Schema markup“ and “featured snippets“ are two interconnected terms that are being used by more and more bloggers, SEO practitioners, and developers. Have you noticed that Google now provides complex answers in the form of lists, tables, paragraphs, or videos directly on the results page? Those are featured snippets.</p>
<p>Moz claims that 23% of all search results include a featured snippet—a descriptive box displayed on the search results page providing information for your query. It may include paragraphs, lists, videos, or tables. You have to consider featured snippets when choosing a table plugin—can it help Google generate a featured snippet from the data within your table?</p>
<p>We developed Superb Tables with featured snippets in mind, and you can use the plugin worry-free. We used schema markup, which is the code that helps search engine bots generate snippets from your content, including tables. It’s a great way for affiliate websites and blogs to promote their content.</p>
<p>You must use WordPress tables with schema markup to get featured snippets on search engines, and Superb Tables is a reliable solution in this respect.</p>
<h3>Add Tables everywhere & use them for Any Purpose</h3>
<p>You can insert the SEO optimised tables with microdata everywhere through the shortcode. For example in a popup, widgets, Gutenberg blocks, email newsletter sent from your WordPress website. You can also insert it on any post or page, even category pages, blog feed, search page and your 404 page! The plugin is made for affiliates marketers and affiliate websites, having a good SERP rank in Google and Bing is critical. When you’re looking to improve your ranking then all of your plugins must be SEO optimized, otherwise it’s gonna be hard to create monetization through ads programs such as AdSense and Amazon Associates Program.</p>
<p>We know that business is important for any modern blog or affiliate marketing website that’s looking to make a revenue from it. Remember to use HTTPS (SSL) on your website, a CDN and lightweight stats tracking tools such as Google Analytics to better your SEO as well.</p>
