Text Align Left

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

That CSS code looks fine (and don’t worry about the coloring, that does not have any direct meaning), so I assume that something in your theme is interfering.
Therefore, please post a link to the page with your table, so that I can take a direct look. Thanks!

Thanks for taking a look. This is a test page.

Also, if I can add css that would apply to all the tables that would be great.

Thanks again,

Hi,

thanks for the link!
The reason for this problem is a some bad CSS in the GoGadget Weather widget plugin, that you are using.
To adjust this again, please use this “Custom CSS” (which will apply to all tables):

.tablepress tbody td {
  text-align: left !important;
  padding: 0.3em 0.4em !important;
}

This will also adjust the spacing/padding in the cells.

Thank You! Worked great

Also, thanks for the plugin. I don’t use tables very often but this makes adding one when needed very easy.

Hi,

I’ve tried this code and it works for the body of the table but what do I need to put for the headers? I’m not familiar with css so I’m struggling.

Also, is there a way to have the first column aligned left and the rest of the columns centred?

Cheers

Hi,

thanks for the question.

This is just working for the body, as the code is specifically targeted at that. To align the head row, please try:

.tablepress thead th {
  text-align: left;
}

Having the first column aligned left, and the others centered, is possible with this code:

.tablepress-id-123 thead th,
.tablepress-id-123 tbody td {
  text-align: center;
}
.tablepress-id-123 .column-1 {
  text-align: left;
}

Note that this uses the table ID, so that the code only applies to one table. Just change the ID as desired.
