Core Tables

Requires WordPress 6.9+ and PHP 8.3+. Back up the database before upgrading; version 0.2.0 adds revision indexes and source/job tables while retaining existing datasets and publications. Preserve WordPress AUTH_KEY to retain access to encrypted connections.

The product remains early access. Google Sheets uses a customer-managed service account. Full assistive-technology certification, automated personal-data detection, and unsupported external-cache invalidation are not claimed.

Validation: PHP/static/JavaScript checks, 19 unit tests, 237 integration checks, 10 concurrent save/publication races, and actual Block Editor/public table workflows. The prior 0.1.1 package remains available for rollback.

Delivery verified: GitHub and FluentCart serve the same 203,617-byte ZIP (e7c5c8fcc947e291119f27c36083871351469f2fa00774e6bfd9e3a4b71261cf). The licensed updater returned 0.2.0 with a direct signed R2 package; invalid activation received no package. A real WordPress bulk upgrade from 0.1.1 succeeded with maintenance mode active. The temporary verification license was removed, and the prior 0.1.1 artifact is retained for rollback. All six release CI jobs passed.

• Connect a Google Sheet with explicit column mapping, encrypted credentials, draft review, refresh scheduling, pause/resume, cancellation, and retry status.
• Search and browse all accessible datasets, restore older revisions, and manage retained history or permanently delete reviewed datasets from Trash.
• Use typed filters, rich cells, line/bar charts, and optional public CSV exports.
• Choose datasets in a focused dialog, adjust presentation in the native Styles tab, and keep dataset editor actions visible while scrolling.
• Pagination and CSV buttons default off. Without pagination, all published rows are displayed. Enabling pagination restores page controls; downloads also require dataset-level permission.

Core Tables 0.1.1 is an early-access update focused on the Block Editor. Core Chart now selects a usable category and numeric value automatically for existing blocks without explicit mappings. Table and chart previews use native WordPress editor controls and quieter table styling.

The package retains the accessible chart data-table alternative, dedicated dataset tables, shortcodes, and opt-in AI Abilities/MCP support.

Early-access limits: 500 rows, 30 columns, and 2 MB per dataset; bar charts only. Google Sheets sync, line charts, and automatic cache purge are not yet available.

Core Tables 0.1.0 is the first early-access release. It stores reusable datasets in dedicated WordPress tables and publishes searchable, responsive tables through Block Editor blocks or [coretable id=123] shortcodes.

This release includes CSV and HTML table imports, rich text and Media Library image cells, public-column controls, appearance settings, bar charts with table alternatives, saved revisions, recoverable Trash, six permission-checked WordPress abilities, optional MCP exposure, and a FluentCart-bound licensed updater.

Early-access limits: 500 rows and 30 columns per dataset; 2 MB per import or snapshot. Google Sheets sync, line charts, and automatic full-page cache purging are not included. Purge a page cache manually if it retains old table HTML after publishing or trashing.

Requires WordPress 6.9+ and PHP 8.3+. The plugin continues to render installed tables when a license is inactive; protected updates and support require a valid license.

Validation: PHP 8.3 and 8.5 source CI passed on the tagged commit. The package passed 98 dataset integration checks and 21 licensing checks on a disposable WordPress 6.9 installation, plus 13 PHPUnit tests (38 assertions).
