    I wanted to ask if tablepress has some easy place to list where you can do things like vertical align text/objects in cells.

    I see a lot of support request of people asking for this. And you provide one-by-one solutions. But why aren’t these things included in the “drag and drop” interface? Or in the table styling options.

    And you could also have a centralized list of these different styling options.

    more importantly, why arent these options in some kind of widget or pallet toolbar within the plugin to where I can easily insert these things. If people are searching and posting support tickets for this, then it is implied that the plugin needs a more intuitive way to allow users to insert some formatting.

    I’m not saying the css block shouldn’t be there. Just saying the idea of a visual editor is to make things more point/clicky

    Hi,

    thanks for your post and for your feedback! I really appreciate it!

    Indeed, for table styling and layout options, TablePress currently requires the use of CSS code. I fully agree that this is an area where the plugin can be improved!

    The reasons why a user interface for such changes is not available are very broad. The internal data structures that TablePress uses, possible performance implications, my personal developer skills, and more play a big role here.

    That said, I’m currently working on a visual default table style customizer, which will allow changing things like the table colors, spacing, etc. from within a user interface (with color pickers, etc.). While this won’t yet allow per-cell changes in individual tables, I hope that it will be a starting point towards table styling with less and less CSS code.

    Again, thanks a lot for proving such valuable feedback!

    Best wishes,
    Tobias
