Inserting Table in WordPress Using WordPress Block Editor

To insert a table in WordPress using this block editor, follow the steps below:

• Go to your WordPress dashboard.
• Click on ‘ Posts ’ and then go to ‘ Add New ’ to create a new post. You can also insert a table to an existing post. Go to ‘ All Posts ’ and select any post you want. 
• Click on the (+) symbol at the top.
• Select ‘Table.’

• The editor will prompt you to choose the number of rows and columns you want to set for your table.
• Assign an estimated number. You can always add or remove the rows and columns later. 
• You can type the table cell number, and the editor automatically resizes the table depending on the table’s content.
• You can even set a fixed width to the table from the right-hand side corner. 
• You can opt to add a header section, a footer section, and even the background color on your table.

• In case you need to add a new column or row, click on the cell where you want to add it. 
• Click the ‘Edit Table’ button.

• You can also delete the column and rows in the same way. Select ‘ Delete Column ’ or ‘ Delete Row. ’ 
• The content of your table is aligned to the left by default. If you want to change that, click on the ‘ Change Column Alignment ’ option.

• Now select the option where you want to align your table. You can choose either left, center, or right. 
• Similarly, you can change the alignment of the whole table. 
• Click on the ‘ Change alignment ’ button.
• Now, select the option from the list. 

This method of inserting a table using the Gutenberg editor is a lot easier. This feature offers greater flexibility on how to display your tables. However, this method lacks certain features, such as custom sorting, search filtering, and many others.
