AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
GT Table Block is a newly-listed WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Featured category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. no published reviews yet means feature claims are unverified by the wider merchant base. Without a published review base, the only fit-signal available is the developer's own documentation plus the marketplace's listing-quality audit (linked below). Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +Published by Birgit Pauli-Haack — established developer track record
Cons

How GT Table Block works
Show full descriptionShow less
GT Table Block extends the built-in core/table block with optional features that compose cleanly — each feature is an independent toggle, not a block style, so any combination can be active on the same table.
Available in this release:
Sticky header row — the <thead> row pins to the top of the viewport while the table body scrolls. Includes a numeric offset control for sites with a fixed admin bar or site header. Pure CSS at runtime (no frontend JavaScript). The sticky background is an opaque CSS variable with full theme.json customization support (see FAQ below).
Styled first column — gives the first column the same visual weight as the header row (bold, optional themeable background) and adds scope="row" to those cells in the saved markup so screen readers announce them as row headers. Addresses Gutenberg core issue #1470 (open since 2017). Pure CSS for the styling; the a11y attribute is added at save time only, so the editor preview stays unchanged.
Planned for future releases:
Sticky first column for wide tables with horizontal scroll — v0.3.0.
Merge / unmerge cells via a block toolbar control — v0.4.0.
Why a variation, not a replacement block? The plugin deliberately extends core/table rather than forking it, so existing tables stay compatible with core as it evolves. Independent boolean attributes also let any combination of features be active at once — which block styles (a mutually exclusive radio group) cannot offer.
