    Hi
    I have a blog which I use sometimes to write on technical and IT related issues.
    I want to include a page with a wide table.
    I am testing many themes. most of them have some styling problems with tablepress.
    mainly the sidebar overlaps the table or the table goes out of the page boundaries.
    can you recommend a good theme that works well with large and wide tablepress tables?

    thanks

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    No, sorry, I’m not familiar with themes at all ??
    I always have trouble finding suitable themes for my sites as well ??

    When looking for that can show wide tables, make sure that the content width is sufficient, or that it contains a “Full-width” page template.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi,

    sorry for not really being able to help here. Maybe you can look through the Theme directory’s “Live Preview” feature of the themes?

    Best wishes,
    Tobias

    I looked at hundreds of themes before settling on one that worked for me. (Which from your needs would not work for you. ?? Take the time to go through many, like I did. Some themes have adjustable layouts (e.g. 1-column, 2-col, 3-col, etc.).

    Hi,

    yes, it might indeed take time to find a good one. Also don’t forget to check commercial ones – or ultimately develop your own theme ??

    Hi Tobias
    I know its not related to your plugin however since your are the most helpful person around, and if you could answer this question it will be great,

    As I said, I am working with twenty fourteen.
    I want to customize the full-width template for my needs, to make it wider on specific pages.
    so I copied it into a subfolder in my child theme.

    how or where do I embed styling that will affect this template ONLY?
    tried this, but it doesnt work: https://www.transformationpowertools.com/wordpress/real-full-width-page-template-twentyfourteen
