WooCommerce column width changes in products dashboard after update

    I am currently using WooCommerce Version 3.2.5, and I am trying to update to 3.33. When I do, the column widths change in the dashboard when viewing my products. For example, there is a lot more space to the left and right of the “Stock” column, and this has caused the “Brand” column on the far right (and Custom Sidebar) to be squished, causing the company brand names to be spelled vertically, which adds lots of space between each product. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

    Hi @graphicswp750

    Some changes were made to the WooCommerce pages within the WP Admin so it may be that another plugin or the active theme could be conflicting with the styling.

    Try switching back to a default theme like Twenty Seventeen or Storefront and disabling all plugins except for WooCommerce to see if this resolves the issue.

    If so, then re-enable each one at a time and test each time until you find the one that’s causing the conflict.

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you for the advice John. I did as instructed and here is what I discovered. I switched my theme to Twenty Seventeen on the new version of WooCommerce, and it did not fix the problem. There are two plugins that are affected by the new version: “Perfect WooCommerce Brands” and “WooSidebars”. In WooCommerce Version 3.2.5, when I enanble these plugins, the other column widths like “Stock” get narrower and the two new columns that are added are given about 65 pixels in width. In WooCommerce Version 3.33, the rest of the columns like “Stock” stay approximately the same width, and the two new columns are only given about 12 pixels, forcing all the text to be written vertically. Is this a WooCommerce problem, or a problem with those two plugins?

    I can’t examine your admin pages, but the following fix has had some success with this type of problem.

    Load this plugin:
    https://en-gb.www.ads-software.com/plugins/add-admin-css/

    then use this custom css in its settings:

    /* fix some narrow columns on the admin product list page */
.edit-php.post-type-product table {
  table-layout:auto;
}
