Add a Table

How to Add a Table

  1. Go to Your Dashboard
    Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
  2. Open Your Page
    From the left-hand menu, click Pages.
    Hover over the page where you’d like to add a table, then click Edit.
  3. Add a Table Block
    There are two ways to add a table to your page:
    • Option 1: Use the Add Block (+) Button
      • Click the blue + button in the top left corner of the page editor.
      • Locate Table under the Text section, or type “table” into the search bar.
      • Click Table to insert it into your page.
    • Option 2: Use the Slash Command
      • Click directly into the page and type a forward slash (/).
      • A dropdown menu will appear with available blocks.
      • Type table and select Table from the list.
  4. Set Up Your Table
    • When prompted, choose the number of columns and rows.
    • Click Create Table to insert it.
    • Click inside any cell to begin adding content.
  5. Add or Edit Table Content
    • Type text directly into each cell.
    • Use the toolbar above the table to add or remove rows and columns as needed.
    • Note: It may be difficult to visually distinguish columns without a header row. Adding a header helps users quickly understand the structure and purpose of the table.
  6. Optional Adjustments

    For the Table Block:
    • Header Row:
      • Click anywhere inside the table to select the block.
      • Open the Settings panel by clicking the gear icon in the top right corner.
      • Under the Block tab, toggle Header Row on.
      • The top row will automatically convert to headers, making your table easier to scan and understand.
  • Footer Row: Add a footer row if your table includes summary or reference information.
  1. Save Your Changes
    When you’re finished, click the Save button in the top right corner of the screen.
