I am trying to create a table on the front-end using the ACF Table add-on. However, there doesnt seem to be the option to colspan.

The above is what i’m trying to re-create. The only option I have found is:
https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/howto-build-tables-with-acf-and-merged-cells-colspan/

When I add that code to my functions.php file and add the follow table in wp-admin:

It doesn’t work.

the code for my table is as follows:

$table = get_field( 'your_table_field_name' );

if ( $table ) {

    echo '<table border="0">';

        if ( $table['header'] ) {

            echo '<thead>';

                echo '<tr>';

                    foreach ( $table['header'] as $th ) {

                        echo '<th>';
                            echo $th['c'];
                        echo '</th>';
                    }

                echo '</tr>';

            echo '</thead>';
        }

        echo '<tbody>';

            foreach ( $table['body'] as $tr ) {

                echo '<tr>';

                    foreach ( $tr as $td ) {

                        echo '<td>';
                            echo $td['c'];
                        echo '</td>';
                    }

                echo '</tr>';
            }

        echo '</tbody>';

    echo '</table>';
}

Am I missing something, if so – how do I fix this? The original colspan link poster didnt really make it clear as to how to use the function.

The plugin you mentioned is from a different developer than ACF. The beset place to get help with this will be from their support forum https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-custom-fields-table-field
