Column Widths

    Hello –

    The last column is taking up a lot of width and the 4 columns to the left do not have enough width. I can’t seem to find any settings to control column width when creating new columns. When I create a new column it does the same thing and takes up a lot of width pushing everything to the left. Is there a way to control column width to make the content fit better?

    Thanks!

    Matt

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    The reason for this behavior is that the last column contains much longer texts than the other cells, and that the browser tries to not let the rows get to high.
    This is not always ideal, as in this case, so that I recommend to change the column widths manually, using “Custom CSS” code, for which you can find examples at https://tablepress.org/faq/column-widths/

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi Tobias – thanks for your response. Are you saying the last column in our example has much longer texts or in general. Because the 4rd column in our example takes much longer text than the 5th (last column). I am just trying to understand if this behavior is due to our configuration OR the browser behavior in general and needs to be manually fixed?

    Thanks so much!

    Hi,

    yes, that’s what I meant. The texts in column 5 are longer than those in the other cells, which is why that columns seems to get a larger width. Changing the widths manually using CSS code is the best approach, from what I can see.
