Embed an HTML table from any database table or view. Optional support for datatables.net. For developers.

Description

Database To Html Table is a developer-focused block plugin that allows you to embed an HTML table in your WordPress content, using data from any database table or view.

  • Specify the name of the database table or view you want to display.
  • Optionally enable datatables.net for advanced table features like sorting, filtering, and pagination (showing only n entries per page).
  • Designed for developers with web development experience, as table formatting and customization require technical knowledge.
  • Completely free and open source.
  • Note: Currently, only one table per page is supported (use the block only once per page).

  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.
