Introducing the WordPress plugin 'Flexible Table Block', which allows you to set any cell or the first column as a th tag in WordPress tables.
I was looking for a plugin that could make the first column a header cell, so I'll focus on that point and briefly introduce its UI and usage.
Table of Contents
How to Use Flexible Table Block
Flexible Table Block is here.
Once the plugin is installed, "Flexible Table" can be inserted as a block.
Many other table plugins require you to create tables on a dedicated screen and insert them with shortcodes. While that might be highly functional, if you just want to create a simple table, this type is easier to edit, isn't it?
Set the number of columns and rows, then create the table.
When you select a cell, you can set various options in the right-hand menu.
From "Cell Settings > Cell Tag", you can select "TH" to make it a header cell. This is what I wanted to do!
Other essential features include cell merging and vertical stacking on smartphones.
Select multiple cells while holding the Ctrl key, then merge them from "Merge Cells".
You can also split cells that have been merged.
With the table selected, you can make it stack vertically on smartphones from "Table Settings > Stack Vertically on Mobile".
It's perfect.
Also, "Flexible Table Block" applies various unique CSS styles.
If you want to apply your own styles,
from "Global Settings"
click "Reset"
to prevent styles from being applied.
Similarly, for "Cell Styles", click "Reset" for all.
This will minimize the unique CSS applied.
I think Flexible Table Block is the only table plugin you need.
Plugins that couldn't set th tags
As a side note, other popular table plugins couldn't set th tags.
TablePress
The first one that comes up when you search is "TablePress".
This type creates tables on a dedicated Excel-like screen and inserts them with shortcodes.
There is a menu for "Table Header Row" (to make the first row of the table a table header),
but it doesn't seem possible to make any arbitrary cell a th tag.
WP Table Builder
This is also a type that inserts with shortcodes.
It seems like individual cell styles can be changed, but I couldn't find a menu to make them th tags...
