 * Hi,
    some days ago I installed TablePress and started making tables. I found 
   out how to get colums in the right width and everything looked oke on my pc screen.
   Then I discovered that on my mobile phone the table did not fit the screen. It
   was clearly not responsive…. After some searching I found out that I needed the
   plugin TablePress Extension Responsive Tables. SO far so good. I installed and
   activated it. Then I tried to change the Table ID shortcode (as was explained).
   In my case, I wanted to change [table id=6 /] to [table id=6 responsive=scroll/].
   I no way I could get this done. The box in the table editor does not accept a
   space or a = sign. Then I found out that I (probably) need the plug in: TablePress
   Extension Change Table Shortcode (…where is this gonna end….). Now it seems that
   when I make a new table, my images does not come out in the desired size…. (I
   did not have this problem before) AND my already working tables are set to : 
   None! They just do not appear anymore. It seems that the table ID need an additional
   tp before the code. So: [tp table id=6 /] instead of [table id=6 /]. After deactivating
   the 2 extensions my earlier made tables show up again….. So: what are my questions?!
   1. Do I really need the 2 extensions to get the ID shortcode changed? 2. HOW 
   can I change the ID shortcode? 3. Why does the size of the pics that I have in
   my table change (they all become much bigger)? Hope you can help me with this,
   cheers from Holland, Hans

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * There is slight misunderstanding here: Changing the used Shortcode does not require
   the extra Extension! Also, changing the Shortcode is not done on the table’s’“
   Edit” screen. It’s instead done on the “Edit” screen of the page where you are
   showing the table, i.e. where you edit the content of the page from your link.
 * Regarding the image problem: Where can I see that?
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Tahnk you Tobias for the quick and clear reply!
    Changing the shortcode works
   fine, now. And yes – on my mobile phone screen the table is indeed scroll-able
   🙂 Unbelievable – thanks a lot. I worked around the image size problem, by not
   using a table with pictures in it, but by using a grid with pics. No worries!
   Thanks again and keep doing the good work! Hans

 * Hi Hans,
 * great! Good to hear that this helped!
 * And yes, using a grid with images is indeed much better than a table!
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias
