**Easy Tables** is a dedicated manager extension for the **WPBakery Page Builder** (formerly Visual Composer). It solves one of the most common frustrations in web design: creating and managing complex data tables without having to write a single line of HTML.
If you’ve ever tried to build a table in the classic WordPress editor, you know how messy it can get. Easy Tables gives you an **Excel-like interface** directly inside your page builder.

### ## Key Features
* **Excel-like Interface:** You can add, delete, and move rows or columns using a visual "sheet" interface rather than nested code tags.
* **Drag-and-Drop Column Resizing:** Easily adjust the width of columns to fit your content perfectly.
* **WPBakery Integration:** It functions as a native element within the WPBakery "Add Element" menu.
* **Responsive Options:** Includes settings to make your tables readable on mobile devices (horizontal scrolling or stacked layouts).
* **Styling Presets:** Comes with several built-in themes (colors, borders, and padding) so you don't have to design the table from scratch.

### ### Core Functionalities
| Feature | Benefit |
| --- | --- |
| **Cell Merging** | Combine multiple cells into one (colspan/rowspan) for complex headers. |
| **Visual Formatting** | Apply bold, italic, or custom colors to specific cells via a toolbar. |
| **Search & Sort** | Allow visitors to sort data alphabetically or search for specific terms within the table. |
| **Import/Export** | Often supports CSV import, allowing you to bring data from Excel or Google Sheets into WordPress quickly. |

### ### How to Use Easy Tables
1. **Installation:** Install and activate WPBakery Page Builder first, then install the Easy Tables addon.
2. **Add the Element:** Open your page with the WPBakery editor, click the **"+"** button, and search for **"Easy Tables."**
3. **Manage Content:** A pop-up window will appear with a grid. Type your data directly into the cells.
4. **Style:** Use the "Table Settings" tab to choose your colors, border thickness, and whether you want the table to be "Sortable."
5. **Save:** Hit save, and your data is rendered as a clean, responsive HTML table on the front end.

### ### When to Use This (vs. Other Tools)
* **Use Easy Tables if:** You are already using WPBakery and need to display static data like pricing comparisons, technical specs, or schedules.
* **Look elsewhere (e.g., TablePress) if:** You have thousands of rows of data or need to pull data dynamically from a database, as Easy Tables is best suited for "designer" tables rather than massive datasets.
> **Pro Tip:** If you're building a "Pricing Table," use the **Cell Background** feature in Easy Tables to highlight a specific column (like a "Professional" plan) to make it stand out to your customers.
