   Hi All,

   I'm sure this question has been posted already, but I can't seem to find an answer that solves my problem.. Probably because I am only 2 days new to WP..

   Anyway - I install the wp-table plug-in to my TwentyTen template. But now I am unable to figure out how to put it in to an actual page..?
   Even if you just send me a link to the directions in the help pages, Id be grateful. At moment, I find nothing..

   Please advise and many thanks in advance.

   Cheers,
   Laurie

   Have you read the instructions? It looks like you make a table through the plugin interface, and then use a shortcode to display it

   the shortcode will look like:
   

   [TABLE=ID]

   I'm guessing the ID is a number, also guessing that when you make a table in the plugins backend, it gets assigned an ID number.

   You just type that shorcode above directly into your post/page where you wish to display the table

   instructions? =)
   Ok.. I dont mean to sound as obtuse as I am sure I am coming across....
   But - where is the plugin interface?
   The instructions (#3) says: Create your table at Manage -> Tables
   and honestly I can't figure out how to get to "manage" ..

   again, sorry for not understanding.. All of this very new.

   Thanks again.

   I would think there would be a new tab in your admin area somewhere

   Maybe a whole new tab for wp-tables, or it could be under an existing tab, like settings or something

   just fyi, wp_tables is a very outdated plugin...

   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-table-reloaded/

   seems to be more up to date if the other doesn't work

   Also, I just installed the plugin on my test install, the tables menu is available under the posts main tab
