In this post, I will show you the steps to merge cells in the WordPress table block.

Let’s dive into the process.

Step 1: Install the Tableberg Plugin

From your dashboard, navigate to Plugins -> Add New and search for the ‘Tableberg’ plugin. 

After the installation, don’t forget to activate the plugin. 

Step 2: Create a Table

Open the page/post where you want to merge cells. Make sure that you have a table, if you don’t have one then create one. Click on the add block button and search for ‘Tableberg’. 

Add the block by clicking on it. Create your own table or insert any prebuilt table.

Step 3: Merge Table Cells Vertically

Hold down the ‘Shift’ key and select the vertical cells that you want to merge together.

Then, from the toolbar option, click on the ‘Merge’ option. The cells you have selected will be merged together. 

Step 4: Merge Table Cells Horizontally

In the same way, select the horizontal by holding the shift button and click on the ‘Merge’ option from the toolbar. 

In this way, you can merge as many cells as you want to.
