Hi, we manage many clients - looking for a solution to make tables/charts on their websites, mainly in blog posts. If you don't mind, a few quick questions.
1) can we allow users - our content writers are users without admin access - with access lower then admin to make tables with the plugin?
2) We are looking for the tables we make to be searchable and indexable by Google - similar to tables created in HTML would be. That way Google will give us an SEO boost and credit and even use the data in search results. So when a table is made with the plugin is it searchable by the Google bots? Our developer mentioned that the table only gets served when the page renders? If that is the case and the data doesn't somehow sit with the table we just need to know. How does Google "pull" the data on the tables?
3) also we would want to tag the table with schema - this may be advanced but curious if you know anything about this.
Hi Bryan, Thank you for your interest in wpdatatables.
Sorry for late response.
We are located in Serbia and our working time is from 10:00 to 17:00 CET. business days and also yesterday was non-working day because of the Christmas.
1.) We don't have such built in option, but you can change user roles and capabilities with other plugin for such thing and then set capabilities for lower roles, so they can access our plugin and made tables/charts.
2. ) Yes all our tables are searchable and indexable by Google, with only one limitation- all content-rows have to be shown on page(so content will be accessible for Google bots). That means aif you have server-side table with 100k rows of data in it and if you set Display length on 10, then only that 10 rows will be searchable and indexable by Google.
You can try to search this string( Abdul Gates 04/12/1969 ) in Google search and you will see results from wpdatatables site from our table content.
3.) Sorry but I did not quite understand what are you trying to achieve.
Can you please explain me more and send me some example/screenshot so I can give you my suggestion.
As long as Google has access to your javascript files (ie: your robots.txt file doesn't exclude access to the JavaScript file in question) then Google will be able to index the page that contains inline SVG(which is rendered when you insert shortcode of the chart)
You can also try to search this string ( Time spent in Holiday season Larry wpdatatables ) and you will see that content from chart is indexed(you will see Highcharts first in results because it is used more then Google charts in our plugin)

If we incorporate the Google charts is this a way to get the SEO we want? https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/wpdatacharts/google-charts/
We want to keep our use simple but appreciate if you could let us know about the above. Thanks!

Hi @Milan Thanks so much.
So just to make sure, for someone to make a table they must be an admin user in WordPress?
The rest of the answer seems perfect and thanks!
Hi Bryan,
You are welcome.
Yes. You can read more about Roles and Capabilities in WordPress Codex.
Best regards.
