Table not displaying correctly

    Hi Tobias

    Despite trying (all) the solutions on offer via ‘Google’ I cannot get the table I have created in Excel to display properly. Can’t seem to change the column width. Imported Table looks fine with equal widths but display has increased the width of column 2 so that the end column (5) is shortened and does not display the content.

    Here’s hoping!

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    The reason for this are the very long URLs that you have in column 2. The browser treats these as very long words, and does not add word-wrapping in them. This causes that column to be very wide.

    You could force the browser to add word-wrapping though, e.g. by add this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:

    .tablepress-id-1 .column-2 {
    word-break: break-word;
}

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Ah! Yes, that works, but makes the table a little ‘untidy’ but all the text can now be seen.

    Thank you SO much! (Spent hours trying all sorts of different ways to make it work, and in the end, simple …)

    Hi,

    yes, these line breaks might not be nice in all situations. The only other choice is to manually and them into the URL then (or to show the links with a shorter link text).

    Good to hear that this helped though, and thanks again for the donation!

    Best wishes,
    Tobias

    P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!
