 * Hi,
    I have a page with right sidebar and a table with 6 columns. I have enable
   horizontal scrolling for the table. My test site is local so I can’t test the
   scrolling on mobile, instead I resize my browser window to mimic phone size. 
   I see two columns on the far right are cut off. Yet I cannot see the horizontal
   scroll bar. Please advise.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Unfortunately, it’s hard to debug this without being able to see the page… Can
   you maybe bring this to a test site that I can then look at?

 * Sorry for that [@tobiasbg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/). I’ll
   enquire again when I put the development site online in the future. In the meantime
   I have reviewed some of the same issue in the forum and found #rowspan was not
   compatible with horizontal scroll bar. I do use #rowspan in my table.

 * Hi,
 * ah, I see. Yes, the `#rowspan#` would cause the Horizontal Scrolling feature 
   of the DataTables JS library to fail.
    But: There’s an alternative! You could
   uncheck the “Use DataTables” checkbox (required when using `#rowspan#`). Then,
   download, install, and activate the TablePress Extension from [https://tablepress.org/extensions/responsive-tables/](https://tablepress.org/extensions/responsive-tables/)
   and use its `scroll` mode in the Shortcode.
