Looking for suggestions concerning building a table

Hi There - We use Theme X.

I am working on a Wordpress page. One of the feature requested is a table that lists and compares features. See attached.

I searched through the available elements and didnt find anything that appeared appropriate. Searching the forum I did find two relevant posts

Table in Cornerstone similar to https://easy-rider.es/ This suggests using “Row, Column elements and adjusting the CSS through the settings” If I understand correctly, we would need six rows. Each row sent with a 3 column layout. Is that correct?

Responsive table element? This thread mentions using the "Grid element or Div with Flexbox options to create responsive tables. " Not so sure on using this approach.

One other option we thought of was to use the single-column layout. Then create the table in the Tablepress plugin. Then use the Raw Content element and insert the short code for the table created in Tablepress in it.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Tim

Hi Tim,

Any of the solutions mentioned in those two threads can be applied in this case. You may also use the suggested plugin, but please note that we don’t provide support for third-party plugins or any related issues.

what about a looper and feed it either with data from an array or json or what ever suits you?

The point is:
You should be able to manage the content without much fuzz. So any “static” method like rows, columns, grid etc filled manually may cause a significant effort. If you edit your data in some dedicated software like excel and export them into “whatever” you can feed your looper with, you may cut some extra mile. A plugin like eg. wp data tables may spare you even more time though. But its a plugin. The free version is quite capable actually.
