Description

SheetFusion turns any publicly published Google Sheet into a fully interactive table on your WordPress site in seconds — no API key, no OAuth, no complicated setup. Publish your sheet, paste the shortcode, done.

No personal visitor data is ever transmitted to external servers.

Features

  • Client-side search — full-text search across all columns
  • Sortable columns — click any header to sort
  • Pagination — configurable rows per page
  • Export buttons — CSV, Excel, PDF, and Print
  • Column visibility toggle — let readers show/hide columns
  • Server-side filtering — pre-filter rows by any column value
  • Auto-link columns — automatically turn bare URLs into clickable links in any column you choose
  • Row cap — configurable maximum rows per table prevents memory issues on large sheets
  • Four visual themes — Default, Stripe, Minimal, and Dark
  • Transient caching — reduces Google requests; configurable duration
  • Conditional asset loading — DataTables scripts load only on pages that contain a [sheetfusion] shortcode; zero overhead everywhere else
  • Admin dashboard — save and manage all your sheets with one-click shortcode copying
  • Accessible — semantic HTML, ARIA attributes, keyboard-navigable tables

How it works

SheetFusion fetches your sheet in CSV format via Google’s public gviz/tq endpoint. No authentication is required as long as the sheet is published to the web.

External Services & Third-Party Libraries

This plugin connects to the following external service:

  • Google Sheets (docs.google.com) — your WordPress server fetches the sheet data directly using the Sheet ID you provide. No personal visitor data is sent; only the Sheet ID and tab name are included in the request. Please review Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

The following third-party JavaScript and CSS libraries are bundled locally within the plugin (no external CDN requests are made to your visitors’ browsers):

FAQ

Where do I find my Sheet ID?

It’s the long string in your Google Sheets URL between /d/ and /edit:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/{SHEET_ID}/edit

My sheet is not loading — what should I check?

Make sure the sheet is published to the web (File Share Publish to the web). The plugin cannot access private sheets.

Can I display multiple sheets on the same page?

Yes. Each shortcode renders a completely independent table with a unique ID.

How do I filter rows to only show certain data?

Use the filter_column and filter_value attributes. For example, to show only rows where column 2 contains “London”:

[sheetfusion id="..." sheet="Sheet1" filter_column="2" filter_value="London" filter_mode="contains"]

Can I disable the export buttons?

Yes — set export="" to hide all buttons, or pass a specific list: export="csv,print".

How do I change the theme?

Add theme="dark" (or stripe / minimal) to your shortcode. You can also set a site-wide default in SheetFusion Settings.

How do I make URLs in my sheet clickable?

Use the link_columns attribute with a comma-separated list of 1-based column numbers. For example, to auto-link URLs in columns 1 and 3:

[sheetfusion id="..." sheet="Sheet1" link_columns="1,3"]

My sheet has tens of thousands of rows — will it work?

SheetFusion renders tables in the browser, so very large sheets can affect page performance. A configurable row cap (default 5,000) is applied to prevent memory issues. Increase or decrease it in SheetFusion Settings.

Can I force a cache refresh?

Yes, but only administrators can do this. Add refresh="1" to your shortcode. This bypasses the cache for that render only.

Does this plugin collect or transmit visitor data?

No. SheetFusion does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data about your site’s visitors. The only external request it makes is from your server to Google to fetch the sheet content — no visitor IP addresses or identifiers are included.
