  • Great support for merged cells

    I’ve worked extensively with Flexible Table Block while developing compatibility for my own WordPress plugin. Its support for merged cells has been especially helpful, and I really appreciate having this functionality available in the block editor. Thank you for developing and maintaining the plugin.

  • Great way help with table layout

    The Block Settings UI has many options but it is still easy to use to create responsive tables. The ability to add a cell width to a column of table cells is a great way to account for table content. It's nice that you can easily transform from a Core Table block to a Flexible Table block.

  • Works Perfectly

    This is a great plugin, works perfectly and is so quick to use.I would like to ask for an enhancement. The ability to move columns left or right, and rows up or down, essentially to reorder them. thanks. I will send a donation your way.

  • Just what you need to build custom table layouts

    Thank you! This is just the ticket. The fancy table plugins are overkill and clutter up the dashboard. I just needed a way to be able to customize tables in blog posts.... simple things like styling cells, highlight rows, spanning columns etc. The flexible table block has it all, plus some nice usability improvements too. Well done. Just what a block plugin should be. 🙏

  • Has all the things the core table block is missing

    Fantastic plugin that provides options that are essential to a proper table editing experience that the core table block does not have, including merging cells and having row headers. I have forked this plugin to make some minor modifications to suit my own needs, and found the code easy to work with to do so. Big thanks to the author and contributors for their work on this and providing it to the community!
