look forward to hear from you

Hey @apolloman,

I checked your page and I can see that it redirects to your dashboard login, so I’m unable to check the content.

However, looking at your screenshots, I could see that you were using a default theme which allowed me to replicate the screnario.

This does not appear to be directly caused by CoBlock’s plugin but rather the default styles of the TablePress plugin.

Still, you may copy this CSS code to Customizer and see if this helps:

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

You may adjust the max-width value according to your personal preference.

In case this does not help you out, feel free to reply back so I could provide additional asistance.

Have a nice day,
Andrija

hello dear Andrija

first of all: many thanks for the quick reply and all your help: i am glad to hear from you. sorry for the inconvenience – the site is beta and i sometime restrict the site-access for some hours…

but Andrija: 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.

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 ].

now i switched the coBlock to on !

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

dear Andrija – many many thanks for your great plugin – the CoBlock; i love them and i am sure that the CoBlock as got a bright future.

now allready 300 000 downloads – this means that CoBlocks are used all over the planet. and the user-base gets bigger and bigger day by day. And yes; the support is great: your support is just outstanding.

keep up the grreat project – it rocks!!

Have a nice day,
apollo
