A Happy New Year with WP-Table Reloaded 1.9.3!

January 5th, 2012



A Happy New Your to everyone! 2012 starts with a maintenance release of WP-Table Reloaded. The automatic update for version 1.9.3 should be available in your WordPress Dashboard shortly.

I’m especially happy about the improved integration in the WordPress search, which should lead to better search results when searching for content in tables. Also, a small change in the default CSS code (thanks to Allan Jardine) should lead to less trouble with blank space below tables (which some users experienced).

The other changes in WP-Table Reloaded 1.9.3 mostly consist of bugfixes and improvements:

  • enhancement: reduce problems with blank space below tables, caused by a no-longer necessary minimum height
  • enhancement: improve behavior and returned results of integration of the WP search
  • enhancement: many improvements to the performance of JavaScript code on the WP-Table Reloaded screens
  • enhancement: more possibilities for developer interaction (additional plugin filters, etc.)
  • bugfix: fixed naming of the sorting arrow images, which where pointing in the wrong direction
  • bugfix: fixes to handling of the “Insert Image” thickbox
  • bugfix: minor fixes to logical errors in JavaScript code on the WP-Table Reloaded screens
  • IMPORTANT: Dropped support for outdated WordPress 3.0 (I always recommend using the newest version!)
  • languages: Added Bulgarian

WP-Table Reloaded 1.9.2 is available!

September 16th, 2011


After almost seven long months of waiting, a new version of WP-Table Reloaded is finally available. The automatic update for version 1.9.2 should be available in your WordPress Dashboard shortly.

Unfortunately, due to time constraints from work, university studies, and family life, I was not able to publish this new version earlier, but finally had some time now. I really want to apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused, e.g. because you were affected by the fixed bugs. I did however try to keep the level of support in the WP support forums up, which hopefully compensates for this.

The changes in WP-Table Reloaded 1.9.2 include several bugfixes and improvements:

  • bugfix: Correct column width of “Edit” screen input fields in Internet Explorer 9
  • bugfix: Moved columns/rows were not moved to the correct place
  • bugfix: Restore functionality of the “Delete” link on the “List of Tables”
  • feature: Updated DataTables JavaScript library to 1.8.2
  • enhancement: cleaned up and optimized some code for better compatibility, adjustments to current WordPress versions
  • IMPORTANT: Dropped support for outdated WordPress versions 2.8 and 2.9
  • languages: Irish and Portuguese (Portugal), updated other languages

There it is: WP-Table Reloaded 1.9.1

February 26th, 2011


A long time has gone by without a release of WP-Table Reloaded, but now, a new version of the plugin is ready. The automatic update for WP-Table Reloaded 1.9 should be available in your WordPress Dashboard shortly.

UPDATE: Due to a bug in the update handling that could arise in certain scenarios, version 1.9.1 has been released with a quick fix.

There are no really big new features, but the included changes should be very handy for a lot of people:

  • feature: option to have the generated table HTML cached in a WordPress transient for faster page generation
  • feature: Tables can get additional custom CSS classes, e.g. for easier layout and styling, and grouping tables.
  • feature: Updated DataTables JavaScript library to 1.7.5
  • enhancement: adjustments to make the plugin work better with WordPress 3.1
  • enhancement: Add cell content as a parameter for the CSS class filter
  • enhancement: Additional ID-based CSS classes for the table name and description texts
  • enhancement: JavaScript features on “List of Tables” screen can be customized more
  • enhancement: cleaned up and optimized some code
  • languages: Added Dutch and Indonesian, updated other languages

Personally, I really like the caching feature, because with that, generated table HTML code can now be cached, so that subsequent page loads are faster (HTML generation is not very fast and only necessary when a table is updated). Also, the custom CSS classes for tables should help a lot of people, because with them, styling tables with existing CSS code has become easier. This allows grouping of tables with the same layout more easily.

Happy Birthday WP-Table Reloaded!

April 13th, 2010

There was a nice anniversary last week: A little bit over one year ago, the first version of WP-Table Reloaded was released in the WordPress Plugin Repository.

Since then, the plugin has steadily received attention and has become very popular:

  • over 85000 downloads
  • about 90 ratings
  • with an average rating of 96.4%
  • 14 available translations
  • over 1300 comments on this website
  • almost 200 threads in the WordPress Support Forums
  • countless emails with questions, suggestions, ideas, bugs, feedback, and praise

At this point, the first birthday of WP-Table Reloaded, I’d like to say THANK YOU to everybody in the community who made this possible. This includes (I hope I don’t forget anyone :-) ) the users, the supporters, the code contributors, the beta-testers, the bug reporters, the translators, and especially the people who donated or sent me a gift. Thank you all very much!
