Formatting a table in WordPress means creating and stylizing a table in such a way that it becomes easy to present data within the table comfortably and display it on web posts and pages. It helps you enhance the clarity and readability of your content.
WordPress offers a built-in table block. But you can create only basic-level tables with the block as it lacks numerous advanced features. In this case, you can use the Tableberg plugin to format your tables properly in WordPress.
In this blog post, we’ll show you the step-by-step process of how to format tables in WordPress using the Tableberg plugin.

Cómo dar formato a las tablas en WordPress
You can execute all the above-mentioned formatting on WordPress with the Tableberg plugin. Let’s see how to do it.
1. Rows & Columns
Like the default table block, Tableberg allows you to define the number of rows and columns.
Here again, like the default table block, you can insert/delete rows and columns from the table.
2. Set Border (Color & Radius)
You can set the table border’s color, width, y radio, which isn’t possible with the default block. You can set them both for the inner y outer borders.
3. Cell Margin and Padding
You can adjust the margin and padding for cells in two ways – individually y universally.
- Set Margin & Padding for Individual Cell
Place your cursor on any cell. Haga clic en el botón icono más (+) next to the Dimensions option. This will show you two options: Padding and Margin.
Now, you can set padding for the cell. This may affect some other cells as well but not all.
- Set Cell Margin & Padding Universally

Scrolling down the tab, come to the option Dimensions. Under the option, you’ll get Cell Padding and Cell Spacing. Using these options, you can set cell padding and spacing universally.
4. Alignment
You can adjust the alignment for the cell text individually.
You can also adjust the alignment of your entire table. To do this, select the table by clicking the Tableberg icon. Then, choose the alignment option.
5. Background Color
Select the table. Land on the Ficha Estilos. You’ll get the color option. You can choose the background separately for the odd row, even rows, table header, and footer.
Tableberg has some more advanced features as well. You can set the cell background color, row background color, and column background color individually.
6. Font & Typography
The default option of the plugin lets you configure the typography settings, which include font, appearance, line height, letter spacing, decoration, letter case, etc.

9. Global Style
Global style refers to a consistent set of designs applied across all over the table. The Tableberg plugin lets you configure the Global Font Style that includes the font color, link color, and font size.
