# Release announcement: TablePress 3.1

I’m happy to announce that a new major release of TablePress is now available! **
TablePress 3.1 brings exciting new features and changes!**

The new release will show up as an automatic update in the WordPress Dashboard for
existing users shortly. The new version can also be downloaded from the [WordPress Plugin Directory](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/)
as well as directly in your WordPress admin dashboard.

**Update**: TablePress 3.1.3 has been released with an important security fix, bug
fixes and enhancements. [Find out more!](https://tablepress.org/release-announcement-tablepress-3-1-3/?output_format=md)

TablePress 3.1 is a major feature, stability, maintenance, and compatibility update.**
Here are the highlights**.

**Improved Frontend Table Performance**

 * Users of the Elementor page builder plugin can now use a dedicated “TablePress
   table“ widget that makes embedding tables even easier!
 * Showing tables in tabs or accordions will no longer break their size or add visual
   glitches!
 * Tables and their interactivity features are more accessible for visitors with
   disabilities and users of assistive technologies, with improved labelling and
   easier-to-use keyboard navigation!

Users with a [TablePress Max license](http://pricin) get to enjoy a **new feature
module**:

 * **[Email Notifications](https://tablepress.org/modules/email-notifications/)**:
   Get email notifications when certain actions are performed on tables!

Many [existing feature modules](https://tablepress.org/modules/) also received **
great enhancements**:

 * **[Responsive Tables](https://tablepress.org/modules/responsive-tables/)**: The
   styling and highlighting of rows and child rows when using the “Collapse“ mode
   has been improved to make it even easier to see which data belongs together!
 * **[Advanced Pagination Settings](https://tablepress.org/modules/datatables-pagination/)**:
   Use a “Show more“ button instead of classical pagination for improved visitor
   engagement!
 * **[Column Filter Dropdowns](https://tablepress.org/modules/datatables-columnfilterwidgets/)**:
   You can now turn on classical single-selection dropdown controls for a more solid
   user experience!
 * **[Row Filtering](https://tablepress.org/modules/row-filtering/)**: A new syntax
   that understands complex logic expressions gives Row Filtering superpowers!
 * **[Row Highlighting](https://tablepress.org/modules/row-highlighting/) and [Cell Highlighting](https://tablepress.org/modules/cell-highlighting/)**:
   Highlighting cells and rows is now possible with complex logic and math expressions,
   for even more control!

**Behind the scenes**

 * **Security fix**: Authenticated Stored XSS ([CVE-2025-2685](https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-2685)).
   Thanks to SavPhill and the Wordfence team for following responsible disclosure
   policies when reporting this issue!
 * Several minor bugs and inconsistencies have been fixed and improved!
 * Cleaned up and simplified code, for easier future maintenance, to follow WordPress
   Coding Standards, and to offer helpful inline documentation.
 * Updated external libraries to benefit from enhancements and bug fixes.
 * Automated code compatibility checks and build tools simplify chores for easier
   development.
 * Improved support for PHP 8.4.

**Enjoy the new release of TablePress!**
