WP-Table plugin for WordPress with the fatal error fix

Home » Blog » WP-Table plugin for WordPress with the fatal error fix

Last updated: February 28, 2018





excel_icon_64The 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.

    I really am impressed with how much you have worked to make this website so enjoyable. Thanks a lot for your effort. Many thanks to the person who made this post, this was very informative for me. Please continue this awesome work.

    This is great! Thank you for sharing this plug-in. I just had this problem, there was an error in WordPress before but as soon as I installed the WordPress Table plug-in, it was working perfectly again. Sometimes WP can be a bit difficult, but what can you say WordPress is one of the easiest and best ways for creating websites.

    Hi,
    Due to the nature of our business, I find I am having to update up to 60 tables on my website nearly every day. I use the WP-Table Reloaded plugin (which is great, and has excellent support) and import new data from different .csv files. Does anyone know of a plugin that would allow me to bulk upload all the tables at once?
    Thanks
    Merrin

    I installed the WP Table plugin on my WordPress 2.5.1 database, and yes, initially WP Table did produce the fatal error as described. I added the fix described above and it now works as advertised. I look forward to using wp table as I really love tables.

    Wow. I’m so happy I found this. I’ve been looking for a plugin like this for a while now. I can’t wait to implement this into my blog. Cheers!

    Oh wow, here I thought the problems with the original plug-in were something I was doing wrong. I stopped using it months ago. Thanks for posting this update, I’ll give it another go, I really need something like this for my site.

    Thank you thank you thank you! I’ve been searching for this fix so I could use XL-like tables in a site I’m designing for a client with an online accounting firm. Hopefully this will do the trick – thanks once again for posting it.

    I really consider this as a great tool because recently I have had some issues customizing my emails in the sent items of the email list. I tried whatever possible to do it but could not just get it right. I became so frustrated that I threw my shoes at the computer. Now I am so glad that there is a word press plug-in for that matter which enables me to customize the emails sent in the list!

    Awesome plug-in. This surely will be in my newer blog. Love the plug-in. Let’s see how it turns out. Cheers

    @Mark, you can try the following PHP function:

    replacetable($table_id)

    So use something similar to the following:

    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,

    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

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

    <img src=”https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/wordpress_table.jpg” />

    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
