In WordPress post or page, there are many places where you want to convey the users in a tabular form by presenting and organizing your data. In other words we can say, adding a table in WordPress post or page helps to deliver the message directly to the users.

We all know that WordPress does not arrive with inbuilt table insertion feature. Thus, you may copy and paste the table which is already created with word editors such as MS Office etc.

Often, the tables pasted from other word editors are not very visually attractive. And sometimes they do not even display properly on the different sized screen. However, no CSS style is available for table, Tbody, Tr, Td elements.

Some of the WordPress premium themes arrive with customizable CSS styles for these default table elements. And the easy solution for this problem is to use a relevant WordPress plugin.

In WordPress, there are various ways by which you can add the table in your blog post.

Thus, this is what we are elaborating here! Keep reading…
