Display beautiful, searchable, sortable tables from CSV files anywhere on your site — just one shortcode.

Description

CSV Table Search Pro lets you upload a CSV file (exported from Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet) and display it as a fully interactive table on any WordPress page or post — using a single shortcode.

Key features:

  • 🔍 Live search — filters all rows instantly as you type
  • ↕ Column sorting — click any header to sort ascending/descending
  • 📄 Pagination — configurable rows per page
  • ⬇ Export to CSV — let visitors download the filtered data
  • 🎨 Customizable appearance — accent color, header background, striped rows
  • 📱 Fully responsive — horizontal scroll on mobile
  • ♾ Multiple tables — different CSV files on different pages, or multiple tables on the same page
  • ⚡ Client-side — no database queries, instant performance
  • 🔒 Secure — CSVs must be hosted on your own domain

Typical use cases:

  • Product catalogs
  • Team/staff directories
  • Event listings
  • FAQ tables
  • Price lists
  • Data reference tables

Usage

Upload your CSV to Media → Add New, copy its URL, then add the shortcode to any page or post:

[csv_table_search file="https://yoursite.com/wp-content/uploads/data.csv"]

See the Instructions & Help page inside the plugin for the full parameter reference.

Installation

  1. Upload the csv-table-search-pro folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
  2. Activate the plugin from the Plugins menu.
  3. Go to CSV Tables → Settings to configure appearance and features.
  4. Upload a CSV file via Media → Add New.
  5. Add the shortcode to any page: [csv_table_search file="URL_TO_YOUR_CSV"]

Frequently Asked Questions

My CSV uses semicolons (;) instead of commas — will it work?

Yes! Add delimiter=";" to your shortcode: [csv_table_search file="..." delimiter=";"]

Can I show multiple different tables on different pages?

Absolutely. Use a different file URL in each page's shortcode.

Can I have two tables on the same page?

Yes. Each shortcode instance gets a unique ID and operates fully independently.

My special characters (é, ñ, ü) appear broken — how do I fix this?

Export your CSV from Excel as CSV UTF-8 (File → Save As → CSV UTF-8 (comma-delimited)).

Can the CSV be hosted on Google Drive or Dropbox?

No. For security reasons the CSV must be hosted on your own WordPress site.

Does it work with very large files?

The entire CSV is loaded into the browser. Files up to ~5,000 rows work great. For larger datasets consider server-side pagination.
