Tagged: combining cells, table, table element
Hi folks
A simple question – how can I combine cells in a specific row, in the table element (specifically the “display tabular data” version of the table)?
The standard table element simply gives a grid – rows x columns.
This is fine with data that is separate across every row & column.
However, in my table there are some elements that are the same/shared across 2 (or more) columns.
As such, it would be simpler/cleaner to combine the cells in that row, so it’s simply 1 cell across multiple columns.
I checked the documentation and there’s no mention of how to do this. I also searched in this forum and couldn’t find anything, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hey adapt,
Thank you for the inquiry.
Unfortunately, this option is not available in the Table element by default. You may need to use a plugin to create more complex tables. Please check the plugins below.

Understood – thanks for the clarification @Ismael.
Perhaps something to consider for a future update to the theme….. :)
