Price Table Plugin for WordPress

November 1, 2011

When I saw this beautiful price table design, by the equally dashing Orman Clark, I knew I had to turn it into a WordPress plugin. I’m very happy with the result. I managed to almost exactly reproduce Orman’s design using pure CSS3.

It has a simple drag and drop builder. Perfect if you dont like fiddling around with shortcodes.

Theme developers, feel free to include this plugin with your themes. All the CSS and JS are GPLed, so you’re free to use and abuse the entire plugin.

Download it from the WordPress plugin directory.

RoadMap

  • Improve representation of Orman’s design using CSS3. The borders for the price field in the featured column aren’t a perfect recreation.
  • Improve price table builder UI.
  • Add more price table designs.
  • Test in IE8. I’m using Mac, so any help here would be appreciated.

      Greg thanks for the plugin,
      I’m new to wordpress, is it possible to take off the select button and change the colours around?
      How do i do this? where do i find the css for the plugin?

      bugs

      • Greg Priday // March 14, 2012

        Heya Bugs! Right now it’s possible to do this by hand, but it requires some CSS3 know-how. If you’d like more help, please post in our support forum. I’ll be adding more advanced customization to the price table plugin in the future. It’d just be a matter of carrying across the code I’ve written for Origin Framework.

    • Steve // March 26, 2012

      I really love this plugin.

      I had a problem using it with my theme. The last table kept going underneath.

      My theme developer told me to add this and it fixed it so I thought I would pass it on.

      Try putting this in the custom CSS option on your theme options page:
      .pricetable .column { margin-right:0; }

      You did great job with this. It looks and works great mate!

    Awesome! Helped so much!

    Hello,

    I would suggest you to correct your URL link into your wordpress plugin details. It seems that you forget the http:// part then If I check your plugin using addins menu in wordpress and then click Details then SiteOrigin, I get this page : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pricetable/siteorigin.com/pricetable-wordpress-plugin/

    Nice plugin

    Regards

  4. Atanas // November 9, 2011

    Great looking tables, thanks

  5. fisch // November 11, 2011

    how to place the pricing table?

    • Greg Priday // November 11, 2011

      The price table automatically shows up at the top of the price table post. If you’d like to embed the price table on another page, then you can use the price_table shortcode. This shortcode needs an ID, but you can copy that from the Shortcode metabox on the price table builder page.

      Hope that helps.

  6. Keir Lavelle // November 19, 2011

    Hi, sorry to bother you but i’m using the plugin but when I enter a subtitle in the feature list (where you can enter a Title and Subtitle for each attribute) The subtitle is not displayed when the price table is rendered on the page, here’s an example of what i mean http://www.creativesolutions-online.co.uk/client-area/totalbeautycare/hair-removal-treatments if you could take a look and tell me why the subtitles wont show i would be very grateful thanks

    • Greg Priday // November 21, 2011

      I replied to your email. I sorted out that issue by testing the plugin in a few different themes.

  7. marikamitsos // November 21, 2011

    Hi there and thank you for a unique plugin. The only one of its kind in wordpress.org
    I just installed it on local test site but unfortunately the button url as well as the button text do NOT save.
    What I put there is http://mysite.com/sample-page/ and “Press me” in order to test it.
    How can I do that? Am I missing something?
    Thanks again.

    PS.: I think it would be nice if you had a plugin installed at your site (like subscribe to comments). It is very helpful.

    • Greg Priday // November 21, 2011

      Thanks for being willing to use such an early release of Price Table, It’s feedback like yours that helps me build a really solid plugin!

      I tested it and button text and URLs seems to be working on my local server. I’ve set up a test account on my Hostgator server to see if I can spot the issue there. I’ll email you as soon as I’ve sorted it out.

      Good call on using subscribe to comments – I’ve downloaded it. I’ll be installing it on SiteOrigin soon.

    • marikamitsos // November 21, 2011

      Thank you Greg for the e-x-t-r-a fast reply.
      You have my email. Please use it. I have couple of ideas to share and willing to help you de-bug.
      Thanks again.
      About the comments. Another very good alternative (I use it myself) is this http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/subscribe-to-comments-reloaded/.
      Enjoy.

  8. Tex // November 21, 2011

    Hi, first off thank you for building a pricing table that actually works. The irony is, I have gone through a few paid versions and yours is the best looking and of course very usable!

    One thing I wanted to know was if you should decide not continue to support this plug-in in the future does that mean all my tables could eventually not function with future wordpress updates? Or is that not how CSS and JS work? Thanks again for a fantastic job!

    • Greg Priday // November 21, 2011

      Thanks Tex! Makes me so stoked to hear that my plugin is as good as some of the commercial options out there.

      I’m going to support this plugin well into the future. You have nothing to worry about. WordPress is so stable these days – keeping a plugin working across releases is a breeze.

  9. Shishir // November 22, 2011

    This is the only plugin which has come close to what I really wanted. Awesome plugin and absolutely easy to use.
    One suggestion maybe … The features are left aligned when creating a table … I had to use DIV center … could you make them center by default in the next release ?

    Thanks a lot for this awesome plugin :)

    • Greg Priday // November 22, 2011

      It’s my pleasure Shishir! I like your idea of letting people choose between left and center aligned. I’ll definitely add this to a future release. Good call!

  10. Pauli Price // November 22, 2011

    You need to add:

    .pricetable code {
    white-space: normal;
    }

    to your stylesheet, in case the theme’s stylesheet has white-space: pre; set for code and pre elements — as my current theme has.

    Is this on GitHub, so I can send you pull requests?

    • Greg Priday // November 23, 2011

      I’ll have a look at adding that CSS. One of the challenges with this plugin has been making sure it works with a range of different themes. Thanks for the feedback! It helps a lot.

      Right now, I’m just using the WordPress plugin SVN for version control. I do use GitHub for other projects, so it might be a good idea to move all my plugins and themes there too. Especially for pull requests.

  11. Terri // November 23, 2011

    Hi,
    I’m trying to use this plugin to create a price list but when i input the details it wont save or publish them. All my work keeps disapearing, can you help?

    • Greg Priday // November 23, 2011

      Hi Terri. Sorry you’re having an issue with the plugin. Something I’ve noticed is that WordPress doesn’t seem to save data if you don’t enter a title for price table (the main post title). So try making sure the title is set before you save your price table.

      I’ll try fix this issue, cos I can imagine that’s quite annoying.

  12. dean // November 27, 2011

    hello..

    how to put the tables in templates.. i am planing to put on my index.php?

    • Greg Priday // November 28, 2011

      You don’t need to modify your theme at all. All you need to do is create a price table post type and link to it using a custom menu. I’ll be putting together some video tutorials this week, hopefully these will help.

  13. olaf shiel // November 27, 2011

    Hi, I have downloaded your plugin which looks great but I have no idea how to set it up. Are there any installation instructions anywhere?

    • Greg Priday // November 28, 2011

      Sorry, I’ve been really bad about writing/recording documentation for this plugin. I promise it’s coming soon! I’ll email you as soon as it’s done.

  14. Angie Meeker // November 28, 2011

    Love it! Thanks so much for making this available for free. I’ll write a post about it on my site and give you some props for such a lovely plugin.

    • Greg Priday // November 28, 2011

      Yay! Thanks a million Angie! Props are what give me the motivation to build all this free stuff and publish it on SiteOrigin :)

  15. Sarah // November 29, 2011

    Would love the ability to NOT have a recommended plan. In the interest of the paradox of choice, I’m just offering two levels. Free and Paid. With only two – the recommended just looks a little goofy. I’m sure I can probably futz with the css a bit, but thought I’d throw that out there.

    • Greg Priday // November 30, 2011

      You know, I totally overlooked that. So true. I’ll make that an option in the next update.

    • Paula // January 5, 2012

      For Sarah who wanted to not have a recommended column, I have a work around. Create a new column, make it the recommended column and then delete it.

      Greg, this is a fantastic plug-in, will totally promote. Any chance of a way to have all the buttons on the bottom to line up evenly?

      • Greg Priday // January 9, 2012

        Thanks for suggesting that fix Paula. That’s a very clever work around.

        If you add the same number of features to each price table column, the buttons should line up. If this isn’t the case, please post/email a URL so I can investigate. The featured column button wont align, but that’s part of the design.

  16. Aris // December 1, 2011

    Hi Greg , I really like your plugin – Well I don’t know if you can help – i get this error message on my table :
    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/alounes/public_html/www.computerplusplus.com/wp-content/plugins/pricetable/pricetable.phtml on line 12

    and you can see it here :http://www.computerplusplus.com/pricetable/services-home-users/
    I hope you can help with this issue.

    otherwise great looking pricelist atble that’s goes with very well with my theme color.
    Aris

    • Greg Priday // December 2, 2011

      It looks like you’d get that error when you create a price column without any features. I’ll make Price Table deal with that situation more gracefully though.

  17. Martin // December 2, 2011

    Hi Greg,

    after installing the plugin and created a table, next error appears…
    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/xxxxx/domains/xxxxx.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/pricetable/pricetable.phtml on line 12

    • Martin // December 2, 2011

      Sorry… overlooked the same question above :-(

    • Greg Priday // December 2, 2011

      No worries Martin. I’ll get the issue sorted this weekend.

  18. Shilpi Agarwal // December 2, 2011

    Thank you for creating this Wonderful Plugin. Works like a Charm. Does what it says. I’m very happy with the results.

    One question though. I have the link here : http://www.socialstrategi.com/?page_id=341

    Is it possible to change the width of the table. I would like to make it wider so that most options fit on signle line. How can I do that?

    Thanks
    Shilpi

    • Greg Priday // December 5, 2011

      Hi Shilpi! Sorry for my late reply. I missed your comment in my approval queue. It’s awesome to see someone using this plugin on a live site!

      The price table will automatically scale to fit the width of the page its on. Some themes have an option to create full-width pages (which basically hides the sidebar. If your theme has this option, that might make your price table look less cramped. I see you’re using an Elegant Theme. I haven’t used them before but, based on their reputation, I imagine they’d have the option for full width pages.

  19. Abel // December 3, 2011

    Hi Greg.

    Thank you so much for such a great plugin (so timely for my needs :) I am getting ready to release a pro version of my plugin (lite version in the plugin repository Events Planner for anyone interested) and was dreading the thought of making a pricing table manually. Kudos to you my friend.

    Abel

    • Greg Priday // December 4, 2011

      Stoked Abel! It’s always awesome to hear my plugin is helping someone, especially a fellow plugin developer. I had a look at your plugin, it looks very cool. “Event Planner” is actually on my list of future plugin ideas, but I’ll cross that one off, seems like you have it covered. Let me know how the launch of your pro version goes.

  20. Shawn // December 4, 2011

    hey Greg.. I just ran across your plugin and starting playing around with it for a couple of projects that I’m working on.. It has great potential! Great job on porting the price tables to a wordpress plugin!

    I have a couple of problems/suggestions..

    As for the problem, I created a price table for portrait sessions. The only thing different with my three session types is the time. I was able to give all the information needed in the description field so I didn’t create any features. This resulted in errors because of an empty foreach() loop. Would it be possible to add a quick test before executing the foreach() to see if that field has any values in it and if not, then skip building that portion of the table?

    As for suggestion, at times there may be a special that is being run where prices would be discounted. Would love to see a cross-out option on the price which would result in CSS that would put a red strike-through over the price and when checked a discounted price field would be displayed to allow us to enter the sale price. Maybe even display the discounted price in a larger point size?

    Keep up the awesome work!

    • Greg Priday // December 4, 2011

      Hey Shawn! I’ve sorted out that bug in my working copy of Price Table. So it now deals with empty tables more gracefully. I’ll be pushing my changes soon after I’ve done some more fixes and testing. I’ll let you know when I push the update to the WordPress plugin directory.

      I’m with you on the feature request. That’s definitely something I can see being useful to a lot of people. Hopefully this will also be in my next update too.

      Thanks for the suggestions. Please, keep em coming if you can think of anything else you need. They’re really useful.

  21. Carole // December 4, 2011

    LOVE this plugin!!! One question…I clicked “recommend” on one package just to see what it did, but I don’t care for the way it looks in my table. Problem is, I can’t figure out how to deselect it. Surely there’s a way? Thanks!

    • Greg Priday // December 4, 2011

      Glad you like it Carole :)

      Oops! When I built the plugin, I sort of assumed that everyone would want a featured column. I’ll make the featured column de selectable in my next update. It’ll be a pretty easy change.

      I see you do Social Media Management. Cool! I’ve actually just started working on a (free) WordPress plugin just for SMMs like you. Something to keep an eye out for.

    • Carole // December 4, 2011

      I’ll definitely keep an eye out for that plugin, Greg! BTW…where exactly should I be looking…on this site? The only reason I didn’t like my table when one was featured is because it looked unbalanced (some packages have similar features so I wanted them lined up next to each other, but when I featured one it threw it off). Sorry I haven’t published them yet, so you couldn’t see what I mean! Which actually brings me to another question: if I want to publish them as a page, do I just insert the shortcode? As you can tell, I am a newbie at doing websites (one reason I liked your plugin so much…no coding for me!). What I don’t know about websites/coding, I make up for in social media knowledge. :) Thanks!

    • Carole // December 5, 2011

      Never mind, Greg! I got them published! I did 3 and I think they all look great! I’m also following you on Twitter now so that I don’t miss the announcement of the SMM plugin! Thanks for making this plugin…it was just what I needed!

    • Greg Priday // December 5, 2011

      Awesome, glad to hear you got all your price tables sorted out. I’ll still be adding that feature you requested though. I’m sure other people will need it. Is there anything you still need help with?

      And yeah, the best way to keep up to date with all the free stuff I publish is to keep an eye on this blog. Twitter is a good place too (although I’m not all that twitterish). If you just want the big juicy announcements, then you can sign up to my newsletter http://eepurl.com/hbvhM (I still need to add a signup form here somewhere).

    • Carole // December 6, 2011

      Thanks, Greg! Signed up for the newsletter! Also, just wanted to tell you that I’ve been getting great feedback on my price tables from other SMM’s so there’ll probably be a lot of SMMs with your tables on their sites We’re excited to see what the SMM plugin offers! I have nothing but good things to say about the plugin and if you can make the “recommend” an editable option, it’ll be PERFECT! :)

  22. Hilco Lunsing // December 4, 2011

    Hey Greg,

    I like your plugin! Where can i set the button text and URL?

    • Greg Priday // December 5, 2011

      Hi Hilco. I’m sure my plugin likes you too :D . There are fields for both the button text and button URL fields. After you click “add column” you should see them there.

      button text and URL fields

  23. James // December 6, 2011

    Hey Greg,
    Thanks for making such a wonderful plugin for free,as stated above it works better and easier than most paid versions. Good job,its plugin creators like you who make WordPress the best!

    • Greg Priday // December 7, 2011

      Thanks James! Really awesome to hear that. I love WordPress. I’m just doing what I can to add to it in some small way :)

  24. stefan // December 7, 2011

    Hi Greg,

    I have a problem with the plugin. I get a message all the time with: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in …..and then: on line 12

    Any idea what I do wrong?

    Further Cool plugin ! Thanks for sharing it.

    • Greg Priday // December 7, 2011

      Sorry about that issue Stefan! I’ve fixed it on my local copy of the Price Table. I’m just doing some more testing before I publish my changes to the WordPress plugin directory. It’s caused by not having any features in a price table column, so a quick fix is to add a few features.

  25. stefan // December 7, 2011

    Ok Greg cool thanks.
    I also wanted sometimes just one column on a page, but when I do that the button goes very wide, maybe you noticed that.
    Hope it’s also a possibility to fix that.

    Keep up the good work, thanks ! :-)

  26. Steve // December 11, 2011

    Greg,

    Great plug in. I am trying to change the color of the button but can’t find the code to change it. I was able to change the color of the writing inside the button but that’s about it. Please let me know how to do this. I also like the way Carole set hers up flush like that. That’s the look i’m going for as well.

    Thanks
    Steve

    • Greg Priday // December 11, 2011

      Hey Steve! To change the color of the button you need to look at lines 195-202 of pricetable.css. I’ve used CSS3 gradients, so it’s pretty easy to change. I use ColorZilla’s gradient tool to create my gradient styles. I really recommend it. The only problem you need to take note of is that when you update the plugin, it’ll overwrite any changes you make to the CSS. I’m hoping to overcome this problem in a future release.

      As for setting up your price tables like Carole. Right now you can do that by just not selecting a recommended column. The problem is you cant go back to having to recommended column after you’ve selected one. So just be careful. Again, this is something I’ll fixe in the coming weeks.

  27. Carole // December 15, 2011

    Hi Greg,
    Still loving the plugin! I have a question that has nothing to do with the plugin, though. In your reply to Hilco you provided a screenshot. I was wondering which screenshot program you used? I need to do some tutorial presentations and have tried several screenshot programs, but I can’t seem to get the arrows to look right. Not bold enough, etc. Any advice you can give will be appreciated!

    Thanks!
    Carole

    • Greg Priday // December 15, 2011

      Hi Carole! I’m always happy to help. I use TechSmith’s products for all my screen grabbing needs. I used Snagit for that screenshot. They have Windows and Mac versions. For capturing video I use Camtasia – which is just awesome. Their Mac version is also pretty cheap.

    • Carole // December 16, 2011

      Thanks for the info, Greg!!

  28. Seth // December 16, 2011

    Hi Greg,
    I love Orman’s table design and it was generous of you to create a WordPress plugin…do you by chance have this available in just html/css?

    • Greg Priday // December 16, 2011

      Heya Seth! Orman is a brilliant designer, isn’t he? I just couldn’t help myself from coding up his design. Technically all the HTML/CSS is in the plugin. You can dig it out if you know some PHP basics. If you’d like, I could put together an HTML/CSS package.

    • Seth // December 16, 2011

      Yep, he sure is! I love his style. I’m a big fan off all his works. I can try to dig out the HTML/CSS from the plugin, but my PHP knowledge isn’t the greatest. If you don’t mind putting together that HTML/CSS package when you get a free chance, it would be greatly appreciated :-)

  29. Rizky // December 19, 2011

    Hi there Greg. I know you originally set your plugin for price comparison. However I kind of ‘misuse’ it by employing it to display a schedule. I need to have the fonts smaller, though. Would you please tell me how to make them smaller? And perhaps general advice on how to play with typography, cell colour, and cell height/width? As you can see in http://joinmun.ugm.ac.id/events/schedules/, the table indeed provides much better appearance rather than the standard plain wordpress-esque table. However, some aesthetic touches wouldn’t hurt, would it?

    Many thanks for the advice.

    Regards,
    Rizky

    • Greg Priday // December 20, 2011

      Hey Rizky! I’ll reply to you by email so I can give you more in depth help.

  30. Steve // December 19, 2011

    Hi Greg,
    Thanks for the reply on the coloring. Although I do think changing the color would be slightly better, i think I am going to leave it as is. Also I decided to leave it as is with the columns as well since the 3 columns look great out of the box after putting them together.

  31. richard // December 21, 2011

    Hi Greg,

    Thanks for the great plugin! I’m trying to set up my price list but it seems that i can’t get it to show english pounds £ or euro € symbols? Obviously th $ sign works ok. Is it something I’m doing wrong?

    heres my test page: http://www.salthillstudio.com/?page_id=1829

    Regards

    RIchard

    • Greg Priday // December 21, 2011

      Hey Richard! Thanks for checking out my plugin :) I’ve had a look and it seems like the issue is with your theme – Simpolio. I can see from the HTML that it uses Cufon to display the price field. My guess is that either Cufon or the font it’s using doesn’t support £ and €.

      Your best bet is to ask Kotofey (the theme’s author) for some help. I’m sure he’ll be able to help you out. Let him know he can contact me if he has any questions.

    • richard // December 21, 2011

      Hi Greg, Thanks for the tip! I looked on the dev’s pages and he had updated cufon js font files. I just updated them all on my server and the £ sign now works!

      Thanks again for all your hard work in making tho plugin!!!!

  32. Rui Tiago // December 23, 2011

    Looks awesome, thanks for the hard work mate :)

    • Greg Priday // January 3, 2012

      Thanks Rui :) This is just the first of many freebies I’ll be releasing. 2012 is going to be a big year.

  33. Anne // January 10, 2012

    Hi Greg,

    I love this plug-in, but seem to be having difficulty in getting my 3 products to line up together. The third one keeps getting bumped down blow the top 2. Do you have any suggestions? Also, how do I link the button to the product for customer purchase?

    Anne

    • Greg Priday // January 10, 2012

      Hey Anne! Would it be possible for you to give me a URL to show me what you mean? This will make it a lot easier for me to help you.

      There’s a field “button URL” in the price table builder. You just need to enter the purchase/signup URL in there.

  34. Paula // January 18, 2012

    My boss loves this plugin! It helps him so he can create offers without code. It is really nice. Thank you so much!

    Is there a way to have the buttons line up at the bottom?

  35. Shane // February 7, 2012

    Hi Greg

    Excellent plugin. I am having a problem getting my 3 products to line up evenly as well. I have tried adjusting some CSS lines , however the only column sizing option is in the admin pricetable/css/pricetable.admin.css See the preview page of products not lining up

    http://www.creditscoretechs.com/?post_type=pricetable&p=1243&preview=true

    • Greg Priday // February 7, 2012

      Hey Shane! It seems like the link you posted is 404ing. I’m going to create a support ticket for so I can help you with this issue.

    • shane // February 9, 2012

      i think it was because it was a draft instead of published because i wasn’t actually finished with the setup and didn’t want to publish until finished. i went ahead and published so you could view it. i really want to use this plugin as i can tweak the css to fit my needs, and the plugin is very cool, but i have to have it working correctly. please assist me in getting these columns lined up correctly.

    • Shane // February 9, 2012

      i forgot to give the link. here it is;

      http://www.creditscoretechs.com/pricetable/pricing1/

      • Greg Priday // February 11, 2012

        Aaah, that looks like a CSS conflict problem. A few themes use the same CSS classes as the price table, which tends to destroy the design. I’ve got this issue recorded in my issue tracker and I’ll be fixing it in the next update. I’m really hoping I can find time to work on it soon!

  36. Cooper // February 10, 2012

    Love it! Installed plugin, configured my pricing table, and published, all in less than 20 mins – thanks Greg, you rock!

      Thanks a million Cooper! My ego has officially been pumped for the day.

  37. Matthew // February 13, 2012

    First off, kudos for the plugin, good stuff! I’m using the pricing table as a checklist with the first column as the service listings … is there a way to remove the sub title line in the right hand columns in order to vertical align a check mark alongside the listings? Thanks!

  38. Dave // February 14, 2012

    I have used so many of these “pricing table” plugins that I really did not want to use yours. Every single one I used had issues with the theme I used and most of them seem to be a copy of others. I reluctantly used your plugin and it worked straight out of the box. Well done. Excellent work.

    • Greg Priday // February 17, 2012

      Hi Dave! Ego boosting comments are one of my best type of comments – I’m not gonna lie. Thanks, I’m glad you liked my plugin :)

  39. shawn // February 18, 2012

    Hello, I’m having some troubles getting this to work. It seems like the css is messed up, wondering if you might have some workarounds?

    It’s posted with the shortcode. Top is cut off of the featured price.

    • Greg Priday // February 27, 2012

      Hi Shawn! That looks like your theme and my price table are conflicting. I dug around your HTML a little bit and I can’t quite figure out why. Can you try contacting Templatic (they made your theme) and see if they have any ideas. Please let me know if they have any ideas – support@siteorigin.com

    Hi

    Thought I’d let you know the following…

    I am running WP 3.3.1 on Genesis framework and Backcountry theme.

    I can create the columns in the table OK (3) and completed the various fields but it does not show up in either the visual or HTML areas in the page layout area above the table creation area

    The only way I could get it to function is to copy the shortcode to a new page

    • Greg Priday // February 27, 2012

      Hey Peter! The problem there is you need to refresh WordPress’ URL rewrite cache. In your WordPress admin go to Settings > Permalinks. By just loading that page, WordPress will refresh everything and the page will be available. I’ll fix this in the next version.

  41. Joyce // February 28, 2012

    Greg: Have you come up with any instructions yet as to how to use the plugin. I have it activated but after that — help?

  42. Lenny // March 1, 2012

    Hey Greg, first thank you for having the best price table plug in!! srsly bro Thank You! I have 3 different services I offer which the plug in is awesome for that, but I also wanted to offer 1 month, 3 month, 6 month, payment options on all 3 services. Any works on that for the future?

    • Greg Priday // March 1, 2012

      It’s my pleasure Lenny :D I appreciate the feedback! As for your feature request – I can’t think of a good way to do this. Having 3 separate buttons for each column would look a bit messy. Do you have any other ideas?

    • Lenny // March 2, 2012

      I was thinking of radio buttons. So rather than just a select button, they could select the radio button and then choose select.

      For Example:
      I create 3 Col. I give each a name I add the features, price, but then also a section for options (and in options I could put 1 month, 3 months, 6 months) and next to each of those there could be a radio button for my customer to select, after the choose how many months they want then they could choose select.

      or a drop down menu of options… It could work the same if I was doing 3 different shirts and had them in 3 different colors, Rather than creating 9 columns, 1 for every color I could create 3 columns and let them select which color they would want

      • Greg Priday // March 2, 2012

        Got you. I’ve added this feature to my issue tracker. Do you mind if I get hold of you when I start working on it? Just for some feedback on wireframes, etc.

    • Lenny // March 2, 2012

      Yeah no more problem

  43. Phil // March 1, 2012

    Hey Greg, I’m just in the process of setting up a table using your plugin now, so no feedback yet… just wanted to say how proud I am to see a fellow South African creating amazing things like this! :D Oh I do have a question though… you know how some comparison tables have like an index of features on the left, and then columns to the right for the various versions of the product/service with nothing more than X’s or ticks? Is that at all possible with your plugin?

    • Greg Priday // March 2, 2012

      Howzit Phil! It’s always a pleasure to be helping out a fellow South African. Watch this space, there’s some awesome stuff coming up. I’ll announce everything in my newsletter, which I see you’ve subscribed to (big thanks). My plugin doesn’t support that type of price table yet, but it’s definitely something I’ll look into adding. I’ve needed that exact price table layout in the past.

  44. Jose // March 8, 2012

    Hi Greg,

    Having read through all the love that has been sent through to you in this stream I’ve been trying to come up with a new superlative for you but I think saying “you rock” pretty much sums it up! Thank you so much for your OUTSTANDING work on this plugin – I can’t wait to see what you do next :)

    I sent you an email yesterday regarding the font of the button text. I have a font replacement plugin which has taken care of the rest of the content in the price table I have configured and as stylish as it looks, the default font for the button text kinda clashes with the aesthetic I’ve put together for the site I am working on. Could you advise me on how I can modify this element? Also, the colour of the text in the button is a little bit faint so some tips on how to customise this section would be amazing!

    Thanks for all your hard work, mate!

    • Greg Priday // March 14, 2012

      Hey Jose. First off, sorry for the super late reply. I’ve been hard at work building this latest update to SiteOrigin. It’s a big one, so stay tuned.

      You have no idea how awesome it is hearing that people are enjoying my stuff. I’m losing sleep, sanity and blood building up SiteOrigin – hearing from people like you is what gets me up in the morning.

      As for modifying the plugin. Right now you need quite a bit of CSS know-how to customize its look and feel. Making it easy to customize with color pickers and sliders is high up on my TODO list. If you’d like help doing the customization by hand, please post in our (bran new) support forum.

  45. Jon // March 11, 2012

    Great plugin. No problems using it, it is very intuitive to use. It’d be great to be able to make the ‘recommended’ column a different color!

    • Greg Priday // March 14, 2012

      I’ll be adding all kinds of customization options in the future… it’s coming… sooooon… I hope :)

  46. Doc Sheldon // March 16, 2012

    You rocked it, Greg! I admit, I struggled a little initially, for the lack of instructions for setup, but the WPBeginner explanation was great, and this little baby is just what we needed! Nice job, and kudos for making it free!

    • Greg Priday // March 16, 2012

      It’s my pleasure Doc :) I have someone joining me with SiteOrigin in the next few weeks who will be helping me write documentation. He’s going to be a massive asset to SiteOrigin!

  47. Frank // March 18, 2012

    Hi I emailed you a few days ago I don’t know if you received my email however I am having trouble with the plugin because it does not display correctly it displays an empty column and pushes the other ones below. I am using headway theme I don’t know if it is causing the problem. I pasted the short code in a widget block. Here is the link to my website http://tenafter.me. Help would be much appreciated.

    • Greg Priday // March 18, 2012

      Hey there Frank! I was having some problems keeping up with support emails, so I moved over to a support forum to try get support running more smoothly :) Would you mind posting your question in the support forum? http://siteorigin.com/forum – I’ll be able to help you out there.

  48. Violet // March 20, 2012

    I really really like this, however, the .pricetable .header p css is inheriting my theme’s .header (which blows out the header 100% across the page). If I use an inspector and turn off the 940px width for the .header, it snaps back how it should. However, I can not find where I can edit this on your plugin. I’ve tried swapping around the css in yours a little with no success.

    Is there a way to adjust the php script so instead of it writing it will write ?

  49. Anthony // March 20, 2012

    Hi Greg,

    Thanks for doing this, quality work!

    Looking forward to some new options, it would be great to select colours (zebra stripes) and also have a custom side panel as an options list as well as an image option per row instead of/as well as text

  50. Susan // March 20, 2012

    Hi Greg,

    Love your plugin! Thank you!

    One question:

    I”m using google fonts for my headings and the default of this plugin is to use those preset heading fonts.

    I love the google fonts on my site but they look rather crappy when used in the pricing table – is there any way I can easily change this? The page is http://www.businessfromtheheart.com/services/

    Thank you, Greg!
    :)

    • Greg Priday // March 23, 2012

      Hi there Susan. I’ve had a look at that link – yeah, that does look a bit off. The only way to fix this would be to delve into the CSS of my price table plugin and/or your theme.

      I’ve heard from a lot of people having these sorts of conflict issues. I think the best way for me to fix this would be to make it easy for theme developers to integrate my plugin into their themes. That way, your theme would have total control over the look and feel of your price table. I would need you all to nag your respective theme companies to add support though ;)

  51. robert // March 24, 2012

    Hi Greg, beautiful plugin. I am using to display and compare some prices for services. I have no shopping cart or other reason (or idea) of what I can do with the button. Anyway to remove it? I found it in the css and managed to remove the actual button but am left with the word “select” and with the option for my users to click on it. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks again!

  52. alison // April 3, 2012

    Hi, I just updated to 0.2 and now my price table isn’t working anymore… I’ve cleared my cache — and I even tried deleting the existing table and creating a new one. Still no luck. Is it just me?

    Thanks so much for your help. This really is a wonderful plugin!

    • Jerry Poynter // April 17, 2012

      I just upgraded as well and am getting the same thing. version .01 was working great now im in a panic. is there a link to the version 1 I dont have it anymore on my drive.

    • Jerry Poynter // April 17, 2012

      All I can say is WOW Greg was online at the time i posted my issue and he found that it was a CSS refresh issue on my end. All is working like it should thanks to Greg. He is the BEST!

  53. Ryan // April 4, 2012

    Just updated and now the featured Table hasn’t got a background colour. Can I fix this somehow?

  54. Beth // April 15, 2012

    Great plugin, wondered if there was any way of adding different colours? changing text colours etc?

  55. TIm // April 23, 2012

    Hi Greg,

    Nice plugin!
    Is there a possibility to open the links of the pricetables in a blanc window? (what code do I need to add? :-)

    Thanks!
