What it does
Publishing data on a WordPress site usually means pasting static tables by hand or writing custom code. This plugin gives you an interface for building tables and charts from data you already have. You can import from Excel, CSV, Google Sheets, MySQL and JSON, so the table reflects your source data. It works for people without coding skills and also gives developers room to customize styling and behavior.
Once a table is built, visitors can sort and filter it to find what they need, and conditional formatting highlights values that matter. Front-end editing lets permitted users change table data directly on the site, including setups where users edit only their own rows. Server-side processing handles large datasets, and chart types such as line, bar and pie turn the same data into visuals. Tables and charts adapt to different screen sizes for mobile visitors.
Best for
- Sites publishing reports, statistics or data-heavy listings
- Teams sharing editable data tables with logged-in users
- Freelancers building dashboards from spreadsheets or MySQL databases
Features
Import from many sources
Build tables from Excel files, CSV files, Google Sheets, MySQL queries or JSON data, so your content comes straight from the place where the data already lives.
Responsive tables and charts
Tables and charts adjust to different screen sizes, so visitors on phones and tablets can read and use your data comfortably.
Filtering and sorting
Advanced filtering and sorting options let visitors narrow a table down and reorder columns to find the specific rows they are looking for.
Conditional formatting
Set rules that highlight specific cells or rows based on their values, making important data points easier to spot in a large table.
Front-end table editing
Allow users to modify table data directly on the site, with permission options such as limiting users to editing only their own rows.
Multiple chart types
Turn table data into line, bar, pie and other chart types to present the same information visually alongside or instead of a table.
Server-side processing
Large datasets are processed on the server, which includes server-side filtering and row counting for tables with many records.
Shortcode and block placement
Place tables and charts anywhere on your site using shortcodes or the Gutenberg block, and style them to match your site's design.

Questions about wpDataTables
Can I connect a table to a Google Sheet?
Yes. Google Sheets is one of the supported data sources, along with Excel, CSV, MySQL and JSON. This lets you keep your data in a spreadsheet and display it on your site as a formatted, responsive table.
Can visitors edit the data in a table?
Yes. Front-end editing lets users change table data directly on the site. Permissions can be configured so that users edit only their own rows, which is handy for directories or submission lists where each person manages their own entries.
Will it handle tables with a lot of rows?
The plugin offers server-side processing for large datasets, so filtering and row counting happen on the server rather than loading every record in the browser at once. This suits tables backed by a MySQL database.
How do I add a table or chart to a page?
Each table and chart can be placed with a shortcode or with the Gutenberg block. That means you can drop them into posts, pages or any area that accepts shortcodes or blocks.
