okay this is my review of TablePress, formally known as W. P.
table reloaded. When you first install and activate TablePress,
it's gonna show up in your sidebar underneath "comments" and
there's a range of options. I'm gonna add a new table now. So
first I wanna click "add new," and it's gonna take me to this
page "add new table" where I need to name and give a a
description, number of rows, number of columns to my table. I'm
gonna pause the video and add some information now. Okay I've
just added my information and clicked "add table," and as you
can see it's updated with the table information, and also
additionally, table content, table manipulation, table options,
and features of the data tables javascript library. Now you
probably won't need to mess with this, table options you might
wanna make some changes, and most important the table content.
This is where you're gonna be adding the actual details, the
information, and data that's gonna be in your table, so once
again, I'm gonna pause and I'm gonna add that stuff right now.
Okay so I made my table content and all I have here is the
website name, pagerank, and kind of a random assortment of sites
and their respect PageRank. Now you'll notice I put in a link
for WordPress and this is just raw HTML. If you use the table
manipulation insert link button, when you click it will prompt
you to choose a box and then when you click on it it's gonna
bring up the the usual menu you have for adding links in
WordPress and all that's gonna do is add the same HTML as I just
did by hand here and insert image works exactly the same way.
Now what's cool is you can also drag and drop to reorder which
is a new option in TablePress that wasn't in W. P. table
reloaded. I'm happy with my table so I'm gonna scroll down and
click save changes. Now it says "saving successful" so I'm gonna
come all the way up to the top and double click here and it's
gonna give me the shortcode. I'm gonna add that to this basic,
plain blog post I have some Lorem Ipsum in it, and all I'm gonna
do is paste this while I'm still in the visual editor I can just
paste in the shortcode and click update. Now I wanna go back to
my page and refresh ... the table that I just created and the
working link. It's worth noting that if I click on this link
it's gonna open in the same page in the same tab which you
probably don't want. So to fix that you can just go inside this
"a" tag right here type in "target=" in quotes underscore blank.
And now when I'm using my table if I refresh it's gonna take me
to a new tab. So you might wanna add that by hand. Also this
text is kinda small so I might want to increase that. To do that
I can go to the plugins option page and here I can add some
custom CSS. So I might add something like dot, to declare a
class, "my table,"and I I wanna increase the font size to let's
say ah eighteen pixels, we'll make it pretty big. I'm gonna copy
my table and save these changes. Now I'll head back to my my
table and under table options there is extra C. CSS classes. I'm
gonna paste in the class I just added and get rid of the period,
so I just have the name of it. Now click save changes oh woops
one more thing, I want this to affect the table rows, so I'm
gonna add "tr" after the class and click "save changes." I wanna
come back to my table and refresh the page. My fonts lot bigger
and easier to read. TablePress is extraordinarily easy to use
and it gives you these great looking tables that you can put
within your post content very easily. If you ever need to add
some data in a table format I highly recommend table press
