Table Builder: admin tables you reuse in Elementor
Table Builder stores tables as kng_table posts. You design them in a dedicated admin editor (views: dashboard, list, editor, templates, settings, import/export), then drop or embed the result in Elementor.
Get King Addons

What it actually does
Column flags: sortable, hide_mobile, align, tooltip, rowspan, colspan. Table config: search, sorting, pagination, rows_per_page, preset, theme, zebra, scroll_x, hide_columns.
Theme names in the editor: minimal, glass, contrast, pricing. Defaults include default_preset, default_theme, default_rows_per_page.
Import/export and templates views exist so you can duplicate structure without rebuilding columns.
Where to find it in WordPress
Enable the extension. Open King Addons → Table Builder (king-addons-table-builder). Options: king_addons_table_builder_options.
How to set it up
- Enable Table Builder. Dashboard.
- Add a table. Table Builder → Add. Name it.
- Define columns then rows. Set sort/hide/align per column; use rowspan/colspan only when the grid needs it.
- Pick theme and pagination. Preset/theme, zebra, rows per page, search.
- Place it on a page. Use the matching King Addons table widget or the builder’s embed flow in Elementor.
Controls that change behavior
| Control | What the plugin does |
|---|---|
| columns / rows | The actual data model. |

When this is the right tool
- Pricing comparison that is easier to edit in a spreadsheet-like admin than in Elementor repeaters.
- Spec tables with tooltips and merged cells.
Notes from the implementation
This is not WooCommerce product data. It is a generic table CPT. kingaddons.com.
FAQ
Can I paste from Excel?
Use import/export in the builder, not a CSV widget.
Why a separate builder?
Large tables are painful as Elementor repeaters; the CPT keeps data out of the canvas.
