What It Does

Have you ever wanted to show a lot of data in a table, but hate how badly it scales on smaller mobile devices? FooTable solves this problem by hiding certain columns on smaller devices, but still allowing the user to expand each row to see the columns that were hidden.

FooTable allows you to make your existing HTML tables responsive. You can target only the tables you want using a CSS selector. It also adds sorting, filtering, and paging to your tables. The plugin automatically hides a certain number of columns on tablets and phones, and you can set custom breakpoint sizes.

Choose from three table themes or use your own CSS. Additionally, you have the ability to include custom CSS, and FooTable works seamlessly with TablePress.
