Also catalogued by Sourcemap Explorer's tech database
TablePress – Tables in WordPress made easy is one of the WordPress plugins with a Wappalyzer fingerprint, which means Sourcemap Explorer detects it from the framework-level signals as well as the WordPress-specific /wp-content/plugins/tablepress/ asset path. This page is the canonical entry; a deep-dive on the detection signals lives in the dedicated guide below.
How Sourcemap Explorer detects TablePress – Tables in WordPress made easy
TablePress – Tables in WordPress made easy sits at v3.3.3 with 600K+ active installs, a 5.0/5 rating from 4,625 reviews, tested up to WordPress 7.0.2. Its last wp.org update landed 2026-07-08 4:56am GMT, and it has been on the directory since 2012-06-14. Whatever the install count, every site running it serves the plugin's files from the same predictable location — and that is the signal Sourcemap Explorer reads.
WordPress plugins all load assets from a predictable path: /wp-content/plugins/<slug>/. Sourcemap Explorer enumerates every such URL on the rendered page (script tags and stylesheets) and pulls the version from the ?ver= cache-buster query parameter when WordPress emits one. The slug is then cross-referenced against the wordpress.org plugin directory to attach the human-readable name, author, install count, rating and changelog you see on this page.
- 1
Find /wp-content/plugins/tablepress/ in the Network tab
Open DevTools → Network → reload the page. Filter by "JS" or "CSS" and look for asset URLs starting with `/wp-content/plugins/tablepress/`. Each match confirms the plugin is loading on the page. Sourcemap Explorer enumerates every plugin path automatically and lists each one in the popup's Stack tab.
- 2
Read the version from the ?ver= query string
WordPress appends the plugin version as a cache-busting query parameter to its asset URLs (`?ver=3.3.3`). Sourcemap Explorer pulls this version directly. The version on this page (3.3.3) is the latest published on wp.org — the version on a real site may lag.
- 3
Cross-reference with wp.org for human-readable metadata
Once the plugin slug is identified, fetch `https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.2/?action=plugin_information&request[slug]=tablepress` to read the human-readable name, author, install count, rating and changelog. This page already does that for you.
