 * Hello Tobias,
 * First of all, thank you so much for your great plugin !
 * I didn’t find the answer for my problem on the FAQ so I hope you can help me 
   🙂
 * I only have 3 columns so all the data are displayed but from a phone the background
   of the Table is going out from the shadow box where the table is displayed.
    
   You can see that here for example : [https://the97shop.com/produit/huawei-p9-lite-mini/?v=ad2d8ee7d788&fbclid=IwAR22RmdjnNxmH9klm_00ik7lhDqAvrcYSBWM4NjVna0-9STT-0XeNvps2D0](https://the97shop.com/produit/huawei-p9-lite-mini/?v=ad2d8ee7d788&fbclid=IwAR22RmdjnNxmH9klm_00ik7lhDqAvrcYSBWM4NjVna0-9STT-0XeNvps2D0)
 * What could I do to fix the responsive for the background ?
 * Thanks a lot for your help 🙂

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The reason for this is that the table content is too wide when the table is shown
   on a small screen. You will need a solution for responsiveness. One idea could
   be to use the `scroll` mode that the TablePress Extension from [https://tablepress.org/extensions/responsive-tables/](https://tablepress.org/extensions/responsive-tables/)
   offers.

 * Hello Tobias,
 * Thank you for your quick answer ! 🙂
 * The thing is that it is only a little bit of the background who is going out,
   not the data.
 * Is it not possible to reduce a bit the size of the data policy for example ?
   
   Or to reduce the left margin ?
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * you could try shortening long words, or reduce the padding in the table cells,
   by adding this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of
   TablePress:
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-123 th,
       .tablepress-id-123 td {
         padding: 4px !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * (where 123 is the table ID).
 * If that does not help, I suggest to use the `scroll` mode of the TablePress Responsive
   Tables Extension that I mentioned above.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hello,
 * It is working thank you very much !!!
 * Is there not a way to say that this code apply to all tablepress and not only
   to the one with ID 123 ?
 * Once again thanks a lot 🙂

 * Hi,
 * no problem, you are very welcome! 🙂 Good to hear that this helped!
 * Yes, this is also possible. Just replace `.tablepress-id-123` by `.tablepress`
   everywhere in the code.
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias
 * P.S.: In case you haven’t, please [rate TablePress](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/reviews/#new-post)
