Frequently asked questions
How do I embed a table in a post or page?
Two ways: 1. Use the shortcode [advanced_wp_table id="123"] (replace 123 with your table ID). 2. Insert the Advanced Table block directly in the block editor.
Can I reuse the same table across multiple pages?
Yes. Create the table in Tables > Add New, then use the shortcode to embed it anywhere. Editing the table updates it everywhere.
Can I modify the table output?
Yes. Use the WordPress render_block_advanced-wp-table/table filter to customize the rendered HTML.
Does it work with classic themes?
Yes. The shortcode works in any theme. The block editor is used for editing tables regardless of theme type.
Does it work with the Classic Editor plugin?
Yes. Advanced WP Table ensures the block editor stays enabled for tables even when the Classic Editor plugin is active.
