A pricing table that ends in a column of prices leaves the visitor with nowhere to go.
Any cell in the Data Table block can become a button, so each row can lead somewhere of its own.
For every Data Table setting in one place, see the Data Table block guide.
Before You Start
- Edition: Free — works in Nexter Blocks (free) and with Nexter Blocks Pro.
- Block to enable: Data Table, switched on under Nexter > Blocks in your WordPress dashboard.
- The links ready: one destination per row you want to make clickable.
Steps
- Add the Data Table block to your page and click Design from Scratch.
- In the Table panel, leave Type on Standard.
- Open Table Header. Each item’s Action is either Start New Row or Cell Content — start a row, then add one Cell Content item per column and type its heading.
- Open Table Body and do the same: a Start New Row item, then one Cell Content item per column with its Text.
- In Table Body, open the Cell Content item that should hold the button and switch Button on.
- Set Button Text and paste the destination into the button’s URL. Add a Button Icon if you want one.
- Repeat for the other rows, then publish.
What Each Cell Offers
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Text | Plain text for the cell |
| URL | Makes the cell’s text a link |
| Button | Turns the cell into a button instead |
| Button Text | The words on the button |
| Button Icon | An optional icon next to the text |
| Add Custom Attributes | Extra HTML attributes, written as Key | value |
How It Behaves
- The button is set per cell, so one row can have one and the next can be plain text.
- The button renders as a link to the URL you enter, so it works like any other link on the page.
- A cell’s own URL field and its Button are different things: the first makes the cell text clickable, the second replaces it with a button.
- Button styling is shared across the table from the Style tab rather than set per cell.
Limitations
- There is one button style available, so every button in the table looks the same.
- Buttons are added cell by cell, so a long table means a lot of repetition.
- Rows imported from a CSV file or a Google Sheet cannot carry buttons — they arrive as plain text.
- A button cell has no text of its own for search or sorting to match on.
Troubleshooting
The button shows but goes nowhere
The URL under the Button switch is the one that matters, not the cell’s own URL field. Fill in the button’s.
The cell shows a link rather than a button
You filled in the cell’s URL field. Switch Button on for a button instead.
My imported table has no buttons
CSV and Google Sheet rows are plain text. Build the table as Standard if you need buttons.
