Table Width

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

Can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!

Tobias,

Thanks for looking into this for me. Here is the link

Hi,

thanks for that! You are probably referring to the URLs in the last column of that table that expand beyond the table, right?

This seems to be caused by some CSS in your theme. To override this, please try adding this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:

#content-area .tablepress td {
    max-width: none;
}

This should fix that overflow, but it will also change the column widths, as the last column will not become wider (as the links in the last column don’t offer many chances for automatic word-wrapping (which can only take place at a space or hyphen).
You might therefore consider changing the link text for all those links to a common link text (like “Website”) instead of the actual URL.

Tobias,

I added the code to the custom CSS textarea as instructed and it works for me, thanks greatly for your help here. This code resolved my issue.

Your final suggestion of changing the link text for all those links to a common link text (like “Website”) was another direction I may decide to use in another table in the future therefore, if I may inquire, could you advise how I would go about using a common link like “Website” instead of the actual URL.

That was my original approach here, but I decided against that after I could not figure out a simple way of converting over 600 urls to a common link text without manually entering code for each 600 urls.

Thanks for this great plugin!!!

Hi,

no problem, you are very welcome! ?? Good to hear that this helped!

For those links with the “Website” text: As your table is coming from an Excel file, the best way probably is to use an Excel macro to automatically generate the HTML code for the links, with the macro approach as mentioned in your other thread at https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/excel-xlsx-file?replies=2
