    With regard to the TablePress plugin for WordPress – are any of the following possible? If so, could you let me know how to achieve them and if not, might you consider these for a future release?

    1. Can you Insert more than 1 row at the same spot?
    2. Can you cut/copy/paste multiple/whole rows or columns?
    3. If a cell is empty and the cursor was positioned therein can we do without the messsge to tell us to do that when we require to insert an image?
    4. Can columns be designated headers as well as rows? So, column 1 in particular
    5. Can you export the register of tables? So – say to a CSV of ID, name and description. Possibly with last update date/time
    6. Can you export a list of posts or pages where the tables are used?

    I must say that this is a gret plugin and works very well.

    Many Thanks

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    1. Yes, with a little trick: While clicking the “Insert” button, hold down the “Shift” key. This will keep the checkbox next to the row checked, so that you can immediately click the button again.

    2. No, sorry, that’s not possible.

    3. You will only see the message once per visit on the “Edit” screen, i.e. as soon as you insert multiple images, you will only get the reminder once.

    4. That’s possible for styling purposes, but not for functionality. The reason is that HTML tables are laid out in rows and then cells.

    5. That’s an interesting question. I’m not aware of a quick solution here, right now. Your best chance might be to select all rows on the “List Tables” screen with the mouse and then copy/paste into e.g. Excel.

    6. I thought about adding a feature like that before, but the problem is that there are different ways of inserting a table somewhere, like the Shortcode, template tag function, text widget, etc., so that it’s not reliably possible to find all tables.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi,

    good to hear that these helped!

    For 4., you could simply use CSS like

    .tablepress-id-123 .column-1 {
  background-color: #ff0000 !important;
}
