There’s only 2 steps needed to install the table in any WordPress theme.

Step 1 : Add the following HTML to your WordPress editor.

<table class="wp-table">
    <tr>
      <th>First Name</th>
      <th>Surname Name</th>
      <th>Score</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Matt</td>
      <td>Pearson</td>
      <td>99</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Steve</td>
      <td>Smith</td>
      <td>64</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Brian</td>
      <td>Johnson</td>
      <td>16</td>
    </tr>
  </table>

Step 2 : Add the following CSS to your child themes style.css file.

.wp-table tr:nth-child(odd) {
    background-color: #fff;
}

.wp-table tr:nth-child(even) {
    background-color: #f1f1f1;
}

.wp-table tr {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
}

.wp-table th:first-child, 
.wp-table td:first-child {
    padding-left: 16px;
}


.wp-table td, 
.wp-table th {
    padding: 8px 8px;
    display: table-cell;
    text-align: left;
    vertical-align: top;
}

.wp-table th {
    font-weight: bold;
}
 
.wp-table {
    font-size: 13px!important;
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    border-collapse: collapse;
    border-spacing: 0;
    width: 100%;
    display: table;
}
