BaraTables builds interactive tables and charts from manual rows, CSV uploads, WordPress content, or an external MySQL/MariaDB database, then publishes them with a shortcode or a block.
Import a JSON, XML, HTML, CSV, TXT, or ZIP export from another table plugin or spreadsheet to rebuild a table.
Tables can include search, sorting, pagination, filters, export buttons, responsive stacking, and column visibility controls. Charts draw from any BaraTables table and embed with their own shortcode.
Features:
- Add search, sorting, pagination, and dropdown, multi-select, checkbox, or radio filters, including filtering by category or tag
- Export table data to CSV, Excel, or PDF, copy it, or print it
- Reorder columns and control column visibility
- Collapse wide tables into stacked, expandable rows on small screens
- Match your theme automatically: colors follow your theme’s palette, with an optional custom accent color
- Restrict WordPress-content, CSV, and external-database rows by user role or user metadata
- Remember table state between visits, and control scrolling, column sizing, and row limits
- Create bar, horizontal bar, line, area, radar, pie, donut, treemap, scatter, bubble, heatmap, funnel, and Gantt charts with ECharts
- Light frontend styles that are easy to override with CSS
