Rendering different tables for different screen sizes

    Hi all,

    I have created a table with the TablePress plugin that looks nice on a desktop. The problem is on a tablet or smaller the cells get small and the table requires scrolling. I want to use a different table (with vertical alignment) when the screen size is tablet or mobile.

    Could someone point me in the right direction.

    I recommend asking at https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/tablepress/#new-post so the plugin’s / theme’s developers and support community can help you with this.

    Hey Steven,

    I can ask there as well. Although I think this would fall into WordPress development since I am trying to use WordPress to render different content based on screen size.

    If you want to use TablePress to generate tables, their support forum is the best place to get advice. If you are willing to abandon TablePress and manually develop your own solution, then you are asking in the right place.

    Other than for really simple tables, tables generally are not conducive to responsive design. If you can design a simple small screen table, yet prefer a more elaborate desk/laptop table, you could conditionally output one or the other from a custom template using wp_is_mobile().
