    After years of trying to find a good plugin that works within WordPress and is easy to batch style, I was very happy to see something being worked on by the UB team. It’s still rough around the edges but I can see it having potential. My main complaints are

    • The CSS classes are not sanitized. I spent a whole hour banging my head on the table trying to figure out why certain cells wouldn’t work with my styling at all only to find out that the plugin puts all of its important stuff in completely unmodified .entry-content classes instead of something more specific, making it super susceptible to other stuff in the theme CSS. I managed to work around it myself, but this would definitely be a serious issue for anyone who doesn’t understand how CSS or CSS debugging works.
    • It’s hard to navigate and find this and that; I have to constantly check the documentation every 10 seconds.
    • No ways to batch edit everything in one row or column a la Excel (not even in the pro version).

    But if a plugin this new is able to do this much already, I’d like to keep my eye on it.

    Hello @asterselene, could you please share with us some of the CSS classes you’re having an issue with?

    The fact it uses the standard “.entry-content th” and “.entry-content td” classes without modification for better specificity was the problem. I had other plugins/modified parts of my theme that messed with that, so it caused a clash (specifically, the text wouldn’t respect the margins I kept trying to input with Tableberg because it was following margins for something else that used .entry-content td). I’ve gotten around it now by using custom CSS and selector {}, but if I hadn’t known how to use CSS I’d have been hosed.
