<h3>How to create your own WordPress Post Tables</h3>
You can use Posts Table with Search & Sort to display your content in searchable and sortable tables. This has a huge range of use cases, from a simple archive of your posts, to previews of your content, to sorting by author, tags, date, and more.
To list blog posts in a table, simply enter the shortcode <code>[posts_table]</code> to any WordPress page, post, or text widget. The easiest way to set your columns and other options is on the plugin settings page at Settings > Posts Table With Search & Sort. These global settings will affect all the posts tables throughout your WordPress site.
You can also add options directly to the shortcode. This allows you to configure each table individually – for example, in order to show different columns in each table, or to list posts from specific categories. Here are a couple of examples of shortcodes you can use:
<ol>
<li>List your posts in a table with 4 columns (image, title, content, and date) showing the first 10 words of each post in the content column: <code>[posts_table columns="image,title,content,date" content_length="10"]</code></li>
<li>List posts in a table with with 5 columns (post ID, title, tags, date and author), and sort in ascending date order: <code>[posts_table columns="id,title,tags,date,author" sort_by="date" sort_order="asc"]</code></li>
<li>List posts in a table with rows on one line by using the parameter <code>wrap=false</code>. If selected columns no longer fit in the table, then a “+” icon will appear to the left of each row to allow access to the rest of the data: <code>[posts_table wrap="false" rows_per_page="5"]</code></li>
<li>List posts in a table sortable by any column. If the column does not appear in your table, it will be added as a hidden column at the end, so the ordering still works as expected. This example sorts each post by title. It also shows how to use <code>content_length</code> to set the number of words in the <code>content</code> column: <code>[posts_table sort_by="title" columns="date,author,title,content" content_length=5 rows_per_page="5"]</code></li>
</ol>
You can see all of these in action <a href="https://poststable-free.barn2.com/?utm=content&utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=freeplugin&utm_campaign=freepluginwporg&utm_content=posts-table-free" rel="nofollow ugc">on the plugin demo</a>, and do even more with <a href="https://barn2.com/wordpress-plugins/posts-table-pro/?utm=content&utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=freeplugin&utm_campaign=freepluginwporg&utm_content=posts-table-free" rel="nofollow ugc">Posts Table Pro</a>, our premium plugin!

<h3>Here’s the full list of shortcode parameters you can use for this data-table plugin:</h3>
You can see some practical examples of how to build your own Post Tables above, and below you’ll find a full list of the shortcode parameters you can use to customize the output of your own Posts Tables. Remember, most of these options can also be set globally on the plugin settings page at Settings > Posts Table With Search & Sort:
<ul>
<li><code>columns</code> – the columns you’d like to show in your table. This can be any combination of the following (comma-separated): <code>id</code>, <code>image</code>, <code>title</code>, <code>content</code>, <code>categories</code>, <code>tags</code>, <code>author</code>, or <code>date</code>. Default: <code>title,content,date,author,categories</code>.</li>
<li><code>rows_per_page</code> – the number of posts to show on each page of results. Set to <code>false</code> to disable pagination. Defaults to 20 rows per page.</li>
<li><code>category</code> – restrict the table to this category only. Use the category ID or ‘slug’ here, NOT the name of the category. You can find the slug in the Posts -> Categories menu.</li>
<li><code>tag</code> – restrict the table to this tag only. Use the tag ‘slug’ or ID here. You can find the slug in the Posts -> Tags menu.</li>
<li><code>author</code> – restrict the posts in the table to the specified author. Use the author name (<code>user_nicename</code>), author ID or a comma-separated list of IDs.</li>
<li><code>post_status</code> – display posts with this post status (draft, pending, publish, future, private or any). Default: <code>publish</code>.</li>
<li><code>sort_by</code> – the column to sort by. Defaults to <code>date</code>. If the column you want to sort by isn’t shown in the table, it will be added as a hidden column. This means, for example, that you can sort by date without actually showing the date column.</li>
<li><code>sort_order</code> – whether to sort ascending (<code>asc</code>) or descending (<code>desc</code>). If you order by date, it will default to <code>desc</code> (newest posts first).</li>
<li><code>date_format</code> – you can set the <code>date_format</code> option to choose the way the post date is displayed in the table. The default is Y/m/d. See <a href="https://dev.to/osejudith/php-date-time-cheat-sheet-48dm" rel="nofollow ugc">this page</a> for the full list of date formatting options.</li>
<li><code>search_on_click</code> – whether to enable automatic searching for categories, tags and authors when clicking on links in the table. Default: <code>true</code>.</li>
<li><code>wrap</code> – whether the table content wraps onto more than one line. Set to <code>false</code> to keep everything on one line or <code>true</code> to allow the content to wrap. Default: <code>true</code>.</li>
<li><code>content_length</code> – the number of words of post content to show in the table (if you’ve included the <code>content</code> column). Defaults to 15 words.</li>
<li><code>scroll_offset</code> – advanced: the table scrolls back to the top each time you navigate forward or backwards through the list of posts. This value controls the ‘offset’ for the scroll. For example, if your site uses a sticky header you can adjust the scroll amount here to compensate. Enter a whole number (e.g. 50) or set to <code>false</code> to disable scrolling to top.</li>
