Support » Plugin: TablePress - Tables in WordPress made easy » Altering Header column to reflect less tables

    I am working on a table that has 10 columns but and I was hoping there is a way to alter the header to reflect 5 columns. See the table has 5 categories. Six of those 10 are represented as an image grid to show which product can be used a certain way. If I could just highlight the 6 columns in the header area to input text title that looks like one column it would be perfect.
    Is there a way to do this that I’m overlooking by chance?

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    To be honest, I don’t really understand what you are trying to do.
    Could you maybe explain this more detailed, or by posting a link as an example, or a screenshot/image or something?

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Sure thing! If you go to http://holisticated.com/essential-oils-chart-uses/ and look at the second larger table. For the header part of table I’m trying to have it look like one I had to manually edit at http://holisticated.com/sample-page/.

    I know the first one doesn’t have the header because instead of where the second link says Application the first one had six 20px columns. I’m trying to make the header like the second link only do it in TablePress if possible so it can be done on the go for any future ones.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    thanks for the links! Now I see what you mean. You want to combine cells in the header row so that the content in the combined cell spans multiple columns.
    To achieve that, please take a look at the “colspan” button in the “Table Manipulation” section below the table input fields on the “Edit” screen of the table.
