### 󠀁[TablePress – Easy to use and very powerful](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tablepress-easy-to-use-and-very-powerful/)󠁿

 [Decimus](https://profiles.wordpress.org/decimus/) September 5, 2026

We have been using TablePress for more than 10+ years. It's very easy to use yet
very powerful. For a recent post with over 14k data records: "Index of Family Names
taken from Barbados Maps between 1657 and 1847" we used server-side processing and
it works wonderfully…. Without server-side processing it crashed our site! The support
from Tobias is pretty amazing too. TablePress is an easy to use, very powerful table
tool. The addition of server side processing makes it awesome.

 [SFrueh](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sfrueh/) August 13, 2026

Ein hilfreiches, leicht zu bedienendes Plugin. Sehr schön ist, dass man bestehende,"
frei Hand" erstellte Tabellen relativ leicht importieren kann. Man muss seine Tabellen
also beim Wechsel auf TablePress mit etwas Glück nicht komplett neu erstellen.

 [cmerrick](https://profiles.wordpress.org/cmerrick/) April 25, 2026

I've been using this to import Excel sheets. It's worked really well and provides
a lot of options. The one time I couldn't get it to work, support identified the
issue very quickly, which turned out to be a hidden problem in the spreadsheet I
wanted to import. I will 100% turn to this plugin whenever I have tabular data to
display.

This plugin does exactly what I needed – clean tables that work well on mobile. 
Plus the customer support is A+!

#### Version 3.4 (September 30, 2026)

TablePress 3.4 is a feature, stability, maintenance, and compatibility update. Here
are the highlights:

**New Table Editor Toolbar on the “Edit” Screen**

The new Table Editor Toolbar makes all editing features available right where you
need them. Your mouse’s scroll wheel can rest easy now: Gone are the days of going
back and forth between the Table Content and Table Manipulation sections. We already
can’t imagine living without it.

 * The toolbar will stick to the top of the screen so that it’s always available
   when your table is in view.
 * It also offers quick access to operations like Undo/Redo or Cut/Copy/Paste that
   have previously only been available through the right-click context menu.
 * Hovering over a button shows its name and keyboard shortcut for even quicker 
   editing!

**Behind the scenes**

 * Various code modernizations, removal of outdated legacy code, and optimizations
   for better performance.
 * Several minor bugs and inconsistencies have been fixed and improved!
 * Cleaned up and simplified code, for easier future maintenance, to follow WordPress
   Coding Standards, and to offer helpful inline documentation.
 * Several external code libraries and build tools have been updated to benefit 
   from enhancements and bug fixes.

**Premium versions**

 * Even more great features for you and your site’s visitors and priority email 
   support are available with a Premium license plan of TablePress. [Go check them out!](https://tablepress.org/premium/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=textlink&utm_content=readme)
