    Hello dear developer, good day dear user,

    i am pretty new to TablePress. and i have to say: i am overwhelmed – so many features and options.

    i have set up the tablepress – on the fly on a BETA-page
    theme: twentytwenty, Coblock (Gutenberg-Coblock)

    the question:: i have added the plugin tablepress

    note: its display is a bit too small: how can i enlarge the width of the display of the table!?

    see https://i.imgur.com/zFy33fs.jpg

    see the page: https://www.f-s-j.de/ plz scroll down and have a closer look (at the bottom of the page)!!

    how to enlarge the block where the table (spreadsheet) resides?

    look forward to hear from you

    keep up the great project – it rocks and i have to confess it is
    one of my fav plugins.. (even after a two days usage)

    note: you have to scroll down to the bottom of the page:
    btw: on a sindenote: i have the following colums

    -name
    -postcode
    -city
    -street
    -housenr
    -website

    you see that the columns – eg. for housnr does not need to be so wide – it could be smaller – regarding the width . Question: can we adjust this somehow?

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    For your first question: This is something that needs to be adjusted in the theme. You could for example check if you can select a “full width” page template on the editing screen of this page. TablePress can not influence this, it then just gives the table 100% width of the container that is defined by the theme.

    For the second question of individual column widths, please try the CSS approach from https://tablepress.org/faq/column-widths/

    Regards,
    Tobias

    dear Tobias,

    many thanks for the quick reply and all your help: i am glad to hear from you.
    your answer is convincing – i guess that your are right – and the issues are rooted in the theme. I was happy to do some fixes and corrections there.

    so we can mark this thread as resolved:

    as for all that probably run into such issues: here some of the things i tried out,
    note: i run CoBlocks-plugin in the (default) 2020-theme:

    i first added this additional CSS – and switched the Coblock off:

    
    .entry-content > *:not(.alignwide):not(.alignfull):not(.alignleft):not(.alignright):not(.is-style-wide) {
        max-width: 90%;
    }

    and now the table looks pretty nice.

    but by the way: This does not appear to be directly caused by CoBlock’s plugin but rather the default styles of the TablePress plugin – so i tried this CSS code to Customizer and see if this helps:

    div#tablepress-1_wrapper {
        max-width: 100%;
    }

    [ here we are able to adjust the max-width value according to the personal preference ].

    at this time i swithed the coBlock to “on” – to get them back

    now i have both
    – the coblocks back on site and
    – the table lookinkg better (/with a larger width)

    dear Tobias – many many thanks for your great plugin – and the superb support. this is just outstanding.

    keep up the grreat project – it rocks!!

    Have a nice day,
    apollo
