How to use Ninja Tables drag and drop table feature
The recent update tweaked and fixed many previous features of this table plugin. However, adding the “Drag & Drop” module was a game-changer!
Creating advanced and stylish tables with the feature-packed plugin was already a massive deal. But users can now also create simple tables by dragging or repositioning table cell elements.
First of all, install and activate Ninja Tables on your WordPress dashboard.
