Hi @jtk341,
Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback, I really appreciate it!
I’m really sorry that you are disappointed here. Please let me clarify a few things: No features in the free version of TablePress were removed! More than two years ago, I did however indeed discontinue and retire separate “TablePress Extension” plugins, which were available as additional add-ons on the TablePress website. I invested a lot of time into these but having them as separate plugins was an additional maintenance burden that is now gone after integrating them directly.
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!
In addition, the free version of TablePress does actually come with a method to make tables responsive as well! You can simply activate Horizontal Scrolling, by activating the corresponding checkbox on the table’s “Edit” screen.
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, which I believe still is very valuable, and which can, as explained above, of course make tables responsive!
Best wishes,
Tobias
“Scroll / Flip mode 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.)
