    Hi Joe,

    so, in short, you are maintaining a CSV file and want the TablePress table on the site to update whenever that CSV file is updated? Did I understand that correctly?

    Then you might want to have a look at the TablePress Auto Import Extension at https://tablepress.org/extensions/table-auto-import/
    That can be used to periodically and automatically import a table from a file.

    Regards,

    Hi Tobias,

    Thanks for answering me so fast.

    That is basically what I want to do. Do you know if there is a way to have it so if the business has a website I would like there to be a link to it. Do you know if that is any way possible?

    Thanks
    Joe

    Hi Joe,

    good to hear that this will be helpful! ??

    To have a link to a site, you’ll have to manually create the HTML code for the link before exporting to CSV, similar to the HTML that you are using for the spans.
    That HTML code would look like this

    <a href="https://www.example.com/">Link text</a>

    Another solution good be to use the “Automatic URL conversion Extension” from https://tablepress.org/extensions/automatic-url-conversion/
    That will basically convert all URLs it finds to clickable links automatically. The link text will then be the URL as well.

    Regards,
    Tobias
