Hi,
thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
One big problem here is that the audio player that you are using is already taking up almost half the space of the table. The other columns therefore have to share the remaining space.
Then, small columns (like “Synopsis”) are pretty big, because of the heading. If you remove the word “Synopsis”, you will see that you’ll gain some space for the first two columns.
Additionally, you should delete the empty second and sixth column that you have right now. Also, please uncheck the “Use DataTables” checkbox on the “Edit” screen of the table.
Finally, you could increase the overall width of the table a little bit, by adding this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen:
.tablepress-id-1 {
width: 870px;
}
If that’s still not satisfactory, you’ll have to reduce the width of the audio player or reduce the font sizes in the table.
Regards,
Tobias
Thank you so much Tobias! I got it to look how I wanted to. I am going to tell you a little about my table, because I think it will help you with trouble shooting and various bugs.
First of all, the blank column “B”, for some reason makes the spacing work perfectly. Without it, the Synopsis column becomes abnormally wide.
Secondly, the apparent blank column “E” actually has players down towards the bottom. The trouble I was having was that the heading would be placed way left, and not in line with the items in the column. Same with the “Synopsis” one. I can’t explain it as I am not a coder, but that is what works for some reason.
Thank you so much for your prompt and helpful response. I have rated your plugin and left feedback. I also plan on donating as well. Thanks again!
Hi,
no problem, you are very welcome! 🙂 Good to hear that this helped!
And thanks for that explanation. That makes sense then. Unfortunately, the automatic calculation of the column widths in a table by web browsers is sometimes hard to reenact, which might be why jumping through those hoops is necessary here.
And thanks for the rating and for wanting to donate, I really appreciate it!
Best wishes,
Tobias
