WP-Table plugin for Wordpress with the fatal error fix

Categories: Wordpress Plugin

excel_icon_64 The WP-Table Plugin for WordPress developed by Alex Rabe is a nice plugin that allows the admin to insert excel like table in WordPress Posts or Pages easily. If you are looking for a fixed version of this plugin that works on WordPress 2.5+ then read on.

The original WP-Table plugin causes a fatal error when activated under WordPress 2.5+. So this plugin needs a code fix in order to be able to use it on 2.5+ WordPress versions.

The Fixed Version of the WP-Table WordPress Plugin

The code fix that needs to be done for this plugin to work is explained on this site. But if you are looking to download a fixed version (where the code has been fixed) that just works right off the bat and you don’t have to do anything other then activating it then download this one.

There is a readme.txt file inside the zipped folder that explains the installation and usage of this plugin. Installation of this WordPress plugin is simple like most of the other plugins.

Installation and Usage of the WP-Table Plugin

Download the zip file.
Unzip and Upload the folder ‘wp-table’ to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory.
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
Go to ‘Tables’ from the ‘Posts’ menu and add or import a table.
Add the trigger text [TABLE=ID] eg. [TABLE=1] in a post or page where u want the table to appear.

Download the Fixed Version of the WP-Table Plugin

Download the plugin from here.

It’s important to understand that I did not develop this plugin and do not take any credit for this plugin. This plugin is not compatible for WordPress version 2.5+ (Produces a fatal error when activated). So all I did is fix the code so it works with WordPress version 2.5+ for me to use and is sharing it with you.

Hi, nice plugin, but obviously it cannot display images within the table cells.
I tried to put the URL of a small image (JPG) in it and the table shows only the written text URL, not the image.
Any idea how to present images within the table?
Thanks

Hi Chris, To present images within the table just use the normal HTML code similar to the following in your table cells:

Great update,

How do I align the cell contents to the top of the cell rather than the middle? I want to be able to adjust to compensate for differences in cell contents so would have to able to vertical align each cell individually

Hey,

Do you have any idea how to place the wp-table on category pages? I tried using the [table=1] code but it doesnt work. Is there a php code I can use to pull the table?

Does the table have to be within a certain div to work?

Thanks,

@Mark, you can try the following PHP function:

replacetable($table_id)

So use something similar to the following:
< ?php echo replacetable(1); ?>
