MCE Table Buttons

By Jake Goldman, 10up, Oomph

Description

Adds table editing controls to the visual content editor (TinyMCE).

A light weight plug-in that adds the table editing controls from the full version of TinyMCE, optimized for WordPress. Note that this may not work in conjunction with other plug-ins that significantly alter or replace the visual editor’s default behavior.

Note that the table controls are contained in the “kitchen sink” toolbar, toggled with the last button on the first row of controls.

Reviews

Stopped working with WPML

October 10, 2020
I loved this plugin for a long time. But the table content created with this plugin is NOT translated by WPML (with AVIA and Enfold Theme) any more. For multilanguage useless. Say farewell - support is over.

Great!

Incredible that a function like this has not yet been implemented in WordPress/TCE.

Highly convenient alternative to coding tables.

June 22, 2018
Essential convenience for creating and modifying tables via editor. Instead of manually coding HTML tables, this plugin allows you to visually create and modify tables. Table modification features like adding rows/columns, merging cells and changing between header cells are table cells spare the user tricky and tedious coding. No plugin options page required. Simply activate the link and a button will be added to the editor. The button consists of a dropdown with all the necessary actions. The design of the button and dropdown fits in seamlessly with the look of the editor.
