Charts From the Same Data
Compare up to 6 numeric series in line or grouped bar charts. The underlying data table remains available below the chart.
Drafts and Revisions
Save changes without changing public pages. Restore an earlier revision into the editor and publish when you choose.
Read-Only Google Sheets
Connect a service account, map your columns and refresh manually, hourly or daily. Draft-only refresh is the default.
Imports and Exports
Bring in CSV, HTML, Markdown or JSON. Import from TablePress, Ninja Tables, wpDataTables and WP Table Builder.
From Rows to Published Pages
Keep the editing work separate from the version your readers see.
Create or Import
Type rows, import a table or connect a Google Sheet.
Set Your Columns
Choose types and keep internal columns private.
Publish the Dataset
Review the public columns before publishing.
Place It Anywhere
Add a Core Table, Core Chart or shortcode. Reuse the dataset wherever you need it.
Private Columns Stay Private
Public tables, charts and API responses use the published revision and its public columns. Keep internal notes or costs out of the public view.
Follow the first table and chart guide, or connect a Google Sheet.

Choose It for Published Data
Core Tables suits comparisons, directories and research tables that you maintain and publish.
It doesn’t calculate formulas, merge cells, write back to Google Sheets or provide a visitor-editable spreadsheet. Activate it on individual sites, rather than network-wide.

Questions Before You Buy
For a specific setup, ask Product Support.
Can I Use One Dataset in Several Posts?
Yes. Select the same published dataset in each Core Table or Core Chart block, or reuse its shortcode. Publishing a dataset change updates every placement that uses it.
What Happens When I Save a Draft?
Your public pages keep showing the published revision. Saving a draft doesn’t replace it. Google Sheets refresh also saves to a draft by default; automatic publication is an explicit option.
Can I Import Tables From Another Plugin?
You can import from TablePress, Ninja Tables, wpDataTables and WP Table Builder. CSV, HTML, Markdown and JSON imports are also available. Review the preview and check your column types before publishing.
Does Core Tables Need Another Plugin?
No form plugin is required. You can use Core Tables with blocks or shortcodes. Google Sheets needs your own service account; AI table building through Site Agent and MCP needs those connections to be configured.
What Happens if My License Expires?
The installed plugin and its tables remain available. A valid license provides protected updates and support for the purchased term. Deactivation and uninstall preserve datasets.
Can I Get a Refund?
Paid plugins and software have a 14-day money-back period from purchase. Contact me within that period under the refund policy.
Publish Your Next Table
I recommend starting with one comparison or dataset you already maintain. Publish it once, then reuse it wherever it belongs.
Upload the plugin ZIP, activate your license and create your first dataset.
