Create responsive WordPress data tables with sorting, paging, and filtering. Build tables visually with a Gutenberg block or embed via shortcode.

== Description ==

**Turn raw data into clean, sortable, filterable tables your visitors can actually read – built visually, with no code required.**

[**Live Demo**](https://data-table.bplugins.com/ "Demo")

### Why Data Tables?

**Data Tables** gives you a Gutenberg block to build data tables visually, plus shortcode support so you can embed the same table in multiple areas. Create a table once and reuse it across posts, pages, and widgets.

Sorting, paging, and filtering are built in, so even large datasets stay easy to browse – all with minimal effort on your side.

### Free Features

- **Visual Table Builder:** Create and edit tables directly in the Gutenberg editor.
- **Shortcode Support:** Embed any table in posts, pages, or widgets.
- **Reusable Tables:** Build a table once and use it anywhere on your site.
- **Sorting:** Let visitors sort table columns instantly.
- **Paging:** Split long tables into easy-to-browse pages.
- **Filtering:** Help visitors find the exact rows they need.
- **Serial & Attachment Columns:** Add a serial number column and enable an attachment column.
- **Unlimited Tables:** Publish as many tables as you want.
