• Since the developer switched to a subscription model, and had a big update, so the old responsive tables plugin was announced to may break in the future. Without this plugin, responsive tables are not possible anymore without paying. However, the price is just too high for us as small non-profit organization. Unresponsive tables are useless in 2025.

    Hi @therittler,

    Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback, I really appreciate it!

    I’m really sorry that you are disappointed here. Now, as you are talking about responsive tables specifically: As mentioned on https://tablepress.org/upgrade-extensions/, only the “Collapse” and the “Stack” mode are affected by the current changes, due to necessary technical changes. The “Scroll” and the “Flip” modes of the Extension continue to work fine!

    that was something I read differently in the previous announcement of Tablepress 3.0. There it was announced that the whole responsive table plugin may break in 2025. Being reliable on a plugin that may break is (or may work) is just not acceptable for us.

    I guess many people relied on the responsive tables plugin. Now the future of the plugin is unclear, so the tablepress is useless for us without paying (that I can’t afford in our small non-profit organization to just display a simple table.)

    Now, I’m not sure where exactly you read that the whole plugin may break, but if that was announced, this was because it was not entirely clear, which features will still work. Again: I did not break anything here on purpose! Also, if being reliably on “a plugin that may break or may work” is not acceptable for you, you should have even more interest in investing in the future of the plugin of your choice, e.g. by getting a paid version, no? And of course, the plugin of TablePress is not “unclear”, just as the free version is not “useless”. This is here to stay, still very valuable, and which can, as explained above, of course make tables responsive!

    Thanks again for taking the time to provide feedback. I hope this clarifies the situation around the retired Extensions a bit and maybe you can reconsider you opinion of TablePress.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias
