WordPress table numbers not visible on iPhone

  • Hi all,

    I’m facing an issue with tables that I can’t figure out. Whenever a table entry starts with a leading 0 (so far, this seems to be the common property), the entry is not visible on iPhones (11 and 13 tested). As far as I’m aware, Desktops, Firefox and Chrome work. Unfortunately, I can’t personally test the site on a physical iPhone, the browser emulation does show the table entries, it is not a display size issue.

    This happens on the latest WordPress version with the block theme twentyfour without any other plugins active.

    So far, I’ve tried replacing all number values with new ones copied form a text editor (in case there was some formatting) and to set a fixed cell width in the table settings, but that didn’t succeed. The only way to circumvent the issue is to add something other than a 0 in front of the number (like just a “#”), but that’s not a solution.

    Is this a known issue or is there a fix?

    Steps to reproduce should be:
    – Install wordpress from the official zip
    – Activate the twentyfour theme
    – Create a site with a table (with multiple cols/rows)
    – Enter numbers with a leading 0
    – View site on an iPhone

    I recommend reporting the issue at https://www.ads-software.com/support/theme/twentytwentyfour/ so the theme’s designers and support community can help you with this.

    Hi James, thanks for the suggestion.

    I installed another theme in the mean time and found out the reason for the issue:
    The table entry is automatically converted to a phone number link if it starts with two leading 0 (zeros). In the twentyfour theme, this link is then displayed in white (on white background) for some reason so the entry appears to be missing, but it’s just not visible.

    I am unsure what causes this behavior. Is there any way to prevent the table entry from being automatically converted to a phone number link?
