    Is there a way to hook into the table/tr/th/td sections of the output code? I’d like to add accessibility roles for my tables and am unsure of exactly how to do this. It appears from an earlier post, you can hook into the table output. I’d just like to do this for each of the individual elements of the table.

    I’m basing this from this article

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Yes, this is possible using WordPress plugin filter hooks. For example, the tablepress_cell_tag_attributes hook in the class-render.php file, defined here, should be an option here, and can be used in your custom code.

    That’s perfect!! Thank you. (and thank you for the super speedy reply).

    Lastly.. Should I be putting this in my child theme to protect my changes? Do you already have a file/directory path set up? “my-theme-folder/tablepress/classes/class-render.php”

    Hi,

    yes, you should put this into your child theme or a small custom plugin. Note that you would not copy that PHP file, but hook into the filter hooks and make modifications there, via the WordPress Plugin API, see https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Plugin_API#Filters
