This is a great plugin, works perfectly and is so quick to use.
I would like to ask for an enhancement. The ability to move columns left or right, and rows up or down, essentially to reorder them.
thanks. I will send a donation your way.
Thank you! This is just the ticket. The fancy table plugins are overkill and clutter up the dashboard. I just needed a way to be able to customize tables in blog posts…. simple things like styling cells, highlight rows, spanning columns etc. The flexible table block has it all, plus some nice usability improvements too. Well done. Just what a block plugin should be. 🙏
Excellent plugin, good work !
Fantastic plugin that provides options that are essential to a proper table editing experience that the core table block does not have, including merging cells and having row headers. I have forked this plugin to make some minor modifications to suit my own needs, and found the code easy to work with to do so. Big thanks to the author and contributors for their work on this and providing it to the community!
Been using this for months and it’s great.
