 * Hi
    I’m using Theme X and the Inline Google Spreadsheet Viewer Plugin. I can’t
   get the spreadsheet to scroll horizontally – it’s just stuck cutting off half
   the data. Any ideas appreciated!

 * Use the `datatables_scroll_x` attribute:

 * wow, I appreciate the quick response thanks!
    It now flips over to the other 
   side of the spreadsheet and I can’t see any way to scroll it back.
 * my code is:
    `[gdoc key="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/load of numbers/
   edit?usp=sharing" datatables_scroll_x="true"]`

 * ohhhh! I’ve just seen what it is doing! if you click on the green button next
   to the membership number it gives you more details! So we don’t need a sideways
   scroll.
 * Genius! lovely lovely plugin – can I donate somewhere?

 * FYI, you can also disable the green button by adding the `no-responsive` keyword
   to the `class` attribute in your shortcode, so that’s one reason why it might
   make sense to use `datatables_scroll_x`:
 *     ```
       [gdoc key="ABCDEFG" class="no-responsive" datatables_scroll_x="true"]
       ```
   
 * That way, you have a horizontally-scrolling table without the green button. But
   the default, as you noticed, is to have the green disclosure button and no horizontal
   scroll.
 * All of this and more is explained in quite a bit of detail if you read the user
   guide near the top of [the plugin’s readme file](https://wordpress.org/plugins/inline-google-spreadsheet-viewer/)
   and there’s even more detailed documentation at the plugin’s “[Other Notes](https://wordpress.org/plugins/inline-google-spreadsheet-viewer/other_notes/)”
   section, in case you’re curious to learn more about what this plugin can do.
 * > lovely plugin – can I donate somewhere?
 * 🙂 Of course. Go to [the plugin’s homepage here on WordPress](https://wordpress.org/plugins/inline-google-spreadsheet-viewer/)
   and click on the “Donate to this plugin” link in the sidebar, or click on the“
   Donate” link for this plugin from inside your WordPress Admin Plugins screen.
   Donations are what make it possible for me to prioritize support requests on 
   these forums. 🙂

 * My spread sheet is too wide and overlaps my sidebar. I would like to fix its 
   width and do sideway scrolling

 * Thank’s Metiar. It works perfect for me.
    Finally got what you ment. Reading 
   instructies first, helps!
 * Just one thing, (of course)
    when I use the Column visibility button on a mobile
   phone, the buttons just stay there and i can not return to the page on the background.
 * Any idea?
 * Or how to remove just the Column visability button as I don’t realy need it now
   the sheet can be scrolled. This is what I have left:
    { “dom”: “B<‘clear’>lfrtip”,“
   buttons”: [ “colvis” ] }

 * > Or how to remove just the Column visability button
 * To remove a button, erase the line that names that button from the DataTables
   defaults object setting.
 * In your case, since you removed all the other buttons, you can enter:
 *     ```
       {
       "dom": "lfrtip"
       }
       ```
   
 * This will remove all buttons.

 * hmm, i tried that before,
    but it also takes away the search field and the entries
   button (which i both would like to keep). and the sheet stopped scrolling.
 * I tried several options but i’m not choosing the right one.

 * That’s a bug. Update to 0.9.13, it should be fixed and
 *     ```
       {
       "dom": "lfrtip"
       }
       ```
   
 * should work.
