    Hello,
    I am new to WP and I would like to know if with this plugin I can insert 1 table with 2 columns and 1 row to posts. I want it like this because I want to insert an image at left and the text at right for every post. The problem is that I don’t want to enter a [table=ID], then save it and then come back again to see it with tables. I would like posts to be with the table as pre-default. Do I have to make some changes in the style.css or somewhere else?

    I don’t know much of WordPress, so if you could help me specifically, I would really appreciate it.

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    welcome to WordPress and thanks for your question.

    What you want to achieve is not really easy with WP-Table Reloaded, and it is not really its purpose.
    You should not use tables for such layout things, like aligning images and text. Tables should only be used in their semantic context and that is to display data in a tabular form. Tables are not designed for layout purposes. So, you should look into a more theme related solution. That is, for example, if you will always have one image in the same location, you could make that a so-called “Featured Image”, a common feature throughout themes nowadays. To show that as desired, you should then modify the theme you are using.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias

    Dear Tobias,

    thank you for your email. I don’t want to have always a same image, so the “featured image” is not very suitable for me. I think that I don’t request something so difficult. So many blogs have this style that I want too and I doubt if they do it manually every time they want to place a table and resizing it for a post. See for example a site: http://greekddl.com/
    This is the same thing that I want to do. Text and image or image and text.

    Do you know if I can write down any code in style.css ?

    I know some things about html / javascript programming but I don’t know where the code of the content of posts is located to.

    If you know, please tell me so.

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    believe me, you really want to check out the “Featured Image”. This does not mean that it is the same picture everywhere, it just tells the theme which image shall be shown in a certain place.

    And no, your request is not that hard to achieve, but it should not be done with tables or WP-Table Reloaded.
    All it takes is some HTML and CSS (however, just changing the style.css is not enough, if there is no corresponding HTML in the theme).

    My suggestion: Start learning about how themes work in WordPress, especially what the different template files are used for, and about “The Loop”.

    Regards,
    Tobias
