Inserting a table

    So I installed Tablepress and created my table, and saved it. I then navigated to the page I wanted to insert the table. Nothing, no link no cut and paste option, no access back to Tablepress, nothing anywhere which enables me to insert it in the “front end” view of my page. This is so frustrating, and annoying.

    To add insult to injury no matter where I look there are no topics for something so obvious on here, or google, using the Queen’s English that I use. I’m no developer, so I’m hoping someone can offer a link to precise instructions, rather than a snowflake looking to big themselves up.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble and for that bad start with TablePress!

    TablePress uses so-called “Shortcodes”, small pieces of text that have a meaning and are replaced with the respective content that they resemble, when the page is shown to the site visitor.
    For TablePress, this is the [table id=123 /] Shortcode, where 123 would be an example for a table ID.
    You can find the table ID and the instructions for this at the top of the “Edit” screen (the screen where you entered the table data). Essentially, you’ll have to insert a “Shortcode” block into your post/page in the block editor and put a Shortcode like [table id=123 /] into it, with the correct ID. Does this help?

    Regards,
    Tobias
