# Plugin Issue: SSL error and responsive bug on mobile

 * Good morning. First of all we want to thank you for your very useful plugin, 
   you have solved a big problem for us.
    We want to inform you of two bugs we have
   encountered that we would like you to fix as soon as possible.
 * 1. SSL. We load an excel file by pressing the BROWSE key and insert the address
   in “Input file path or URL”. When we save an error message it says the file does
   not exist. We spent several hours and uploads (even via FTP, even in folders 
   other than the default uploads folder) and in the end we realized that the table
   was loaded only if we remove the S of HTTPS in the address.
 * 2. Responsive on Mobile devices. If the table is wider than the header of the
   website, instead of proposing a side scroll bar inside the table, the side scrolling
   of the website is activated and both the header and the footer of the website
   remain smaller than the table

 * Hi takemakestudios,
 * You are welcome. We are glad that our plugin was helpful for your needs.
 * Thank you for sharing this with us.
 * 1) For this functionality we are using WordPress built-in function [wp_upload_dir](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_upload_dir/)
   which is returning:
 *     ```
       'path'
       (string) Base directory and subdirectory or full path to upload directory.
       'url'
       (string) Base URL and subdirectory or absolute URL to upload directory.
       'subdir'
       (string) Subdirectory if uploads use year/month folders option is on.
       'basedir'
       (string) Path without subdir.
       'baseurl'
       (string) URL path without subdir.
       'error'
       (string|false) False or error message.
       ```
   
 * What we are doing is to replace ‘baseurl’ with ‘basedir’ in url of that file 
   which you chose from browse.
    For your case, we assume that you switch redirecting
   to SSL, but WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) options from General
   settings of WordPress are still on http. Can you confirm that? If that is true
   we will find some solution for those cases. If that is not true then we will 
   need to investigate this on your server to check out what is going on. If you
   are interested let us know so we can provide you instructions on how to provide
   us access to your website, because providing that information here is not recommended
   because of security reasons.
 * 2) For those cases in Lite version you have options [Limit table width](https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/table-features/table-layout-and-word-wrap/)
   and [Scrollable](https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/table-features/scrollable/)
   for data tables. For a [Simple table](https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/creating-new-wpdatatables-with-table-constructor/creating-a-simple-table-with-wpdatatables/)
   beside those options, you have Responsive mode as well.
 * Best regards.

 * Thank you for your quick answer.
 * 1. In general the option wordpress address (URL) and site address (URL) are both
   https, we are using the ONE CLICK SSL plugin and it is correctly active. However,
   accessing PHPMYADMIN I see that in wp_option site url and home are both HTTP 
   and not HTTPS, can this be the problem?
 * 2. I found the “show a horizontal scrollbar” setting, it was what we needed, 
   thanks. By enabling this option the table is no longer full width but boxed while
   the search and save options remain full width. It is not a problem if the table
   is boxed (in fact, I prefer it) but is there a way to correct the options and
   make sure that they are aligned with the edges of the table?

 * Hi takemakestudios,
 * 1) Yes that function behind the scenes grab values from database over functions
   `
   get_option( 'siteurl' )` You can check with that plugin why those values are 
   not updated as well.
 * 2) You can use this CSS that you will insert in Custom CSS on CUSTOM CSS AND 
   JS tab in table settings
 *     ```
       @media (min-width:1024px) { 
           .wpDataTablesWrapper .scroll[data-wpdatatable_id='1']{
               width: 100% !important;
           }
       }
       ```
   
 * Note: You will replace this id with the id of your table, and also if you need
   for tablets as well you can insert a lower value than 1024 in min-width
 * Best regards.
