Adding a pricing table to your WordPress website can be a great way to help your visitors easily compare the prices of the products and services you offer. To add a pricing table to your website, first you’ll need to create a new file called pricing.
php in your WordPress directory. This file will contain the code necessary to create and display your pricing table.
To create the pricing table, open pricing.php and enter the following code:
‘Products’, ‘items’ => array( ‘title’ => ‘Item 1’, ‘price’ => ‘1.00’, ), ‘item2’ => ‘Item 2’, ‘price’ => ‘2.
00’, ), ); // create the table elements $table->title = ‘Products’; $table->items = array( ‘title’ => ‘Item 1’, ‘price’ => ‘1.00’, ); $table->item2 = ‘Item 2’, ‘price’ => ‘2.00’; // display the table $table->display(); ?>.
In the code above, the $table variable is an object that contains the table structure and the individual table elements. The title and items variables are used to create the table’s title and list of items, respectively.
-Pricing tables should be used sparingly, as they can clutter up a page and make it difficult to read.
-Be sure to use clear and concise headers and descriptions for each pricing option.
-Make sure the pricing table is easy to navigate and understand.
The price variables are used to associate each table element with a corresponding price. Finally, the display() function is called to display the table on the website.
Once the pricing table has been created, you’ll need to add it to your website’s content area. To do this, open your website’s header file (index.php, for example) and add the following code:
add_header(‘Content-Type’, ‘text/html; charset=utf-8’); // add the table to the content area $table = new WP_Table(); $table->add_column(‘item_title’, ‘string’, array( ‘type’ => ‘varchar’, ‘size’ => 50, )); $table->add_column(‘price’, ‘integer’, array( ‘type’ => ‘decimal’, ‘size’ => 10, )); $table->add_column(‘quantity’, ‘integer’, array( ‘type’ => ‘decimal’, ‘size’ => 2, )); $table->add_column(‘tax_class’, ‘tinytext’, array( ‘type’ => ‘varchar’, ‘size’ => 20, )); $table->add_column(‘description’, ‘text’, array( ‘type’ => ‘text’, )); $table->add_column(‘url’, ‘text’, array( ‘type’ => ‘text’, )); $table->add_column(‘rating’, ‘integer’, array( ‘type’ => ‘decimal’, ‘size’ => 5, )); $table->add_column(‘custom_fields’, ‘WP_Custom_Fields’, array( ‘data_type’ => ‘text’, )); $header->add_header(‘Content-Type’, ‘text/html; charset=utf-8’); // add the table to the content area $table->add_columns( $table ); ?>
In the code above, the $table variable is once again used to create and display the pricing table. The table is added to the content area using the add_column() function, which accepts an array of column name/value pairs.
The table’s columns are set to the following values: item_title (string), price (integer), quantity (integer), tax_class (tinytext), description (text), url (text), rating (integer), and custom_fields (WP_Custom_Fields).
Finally, the $header->add_header() function is used to add the pricing table to the website’s header. This function adds the table’s title and the table’s column titles to the website’s header.
