How to create a table in WordPress with the Stratum’s Elementor widget.
Start with adding a table widget to the page as you would normally do with any other widget in Elementor.
Now let’s go through the individual tabs to see what you can edit via them. Via the Content tab, you can customize table headings and table body.
Table heading
Add and customize columns headings:
- Column title (heading) and alignment
- Optionally add an icon or an image next to the heading title
- Customize text and background color
You can add as many items as you want.
Table body
In this menu, you can organize rows and columns. There are two item types you can add: rows and columns.
So by adding rows you just designate how many rows a table should contain, while the rest of the settings are for columns.
For example, here is what you can change:
- Choose a content type to display in a column: a plain title, text or an Elementor template (the latter is available in Stratum PRO only).
- You can accompany titles with icons or images; opting for a text, you can apply basic formatting and upload media files; and you can integrate entire Elementor templates into the table body, either default or your custom ones (the latter is available in Stratum PRO only).
- You can change the text and background color of the column.
If you want to merge cells, specify the number of columns in the Column span:
General style
In this tab, you can customize the look of the entire table, borders, etc.
- Choose a table layout (auto or fixed). Auto means it’ll be resized depending on the viewport of the screen.
- Set a table width.
- Set table alignment.
- Edit a border style and width

- Border radius
- Column height
