 * I’m making tables with only three rows and two columns. Is there a code I can
   use for the responsive collapse to get rid of the collapse button and make the
   2nd column always viewable? Thank You

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * I don’t understand. If you get rid of the collapse button, and make the second
   column always visible, there’s nothing actually collapsing anymore?! It would
   just be the full table again?

 * Hello, thanks for the response and sorry for the confusion. Yes, in mobile view
   I would like to get rid of the collapse button so column B is always visible 
   underneath column A. So for my small tables column 1 is the header, column 2A
   will be an Image and 2B will be a short description under the image but always
   visible. Next is column 3A with 3B underneath and so on. Thank You for any help.

 * Hi,
 * ah, thanks for the explanation. For this you would need a different approach,
   based on CSS code. So, instead of using the `collapse` mode, please add this 
   to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:
 *     ```
       @media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
         .tablepress-id-123 thead th,
         .tablepress-id-123 tbody td {
           display: block;
         }
       }
       ```
   
 * The table ID needs to be adjusted to your table’s ID here.

    Tobias

 * I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong but I didn’t work. I added the above
   CSS code to the plugin options page as you said. I already have over 500 tables
   and I wasn’t sure if needed to change the table id # for each one. To start I
   saved the above code exactly like you said and checked the page that had table
   123 in it. I tried these in the page all with no luck.
 * [table id=123 /]
 * [table id=123 responsive=scroll /]
 * [table id=123 responsive=collapse /]
 * Sorry If I’m missing something easy….. Stephanie

 * Hi Stephanie,
 * for the CSS code from my previous code, the Shortcode
 *     ```
       [table id=123 /]
       ```
   
 * would be correct (all with the correct and matching table ID).
 * If it still doesn’t work, can you please post a link to the page with the table
   where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!

    Tobias

 * Hello, Tobias Thank You for your response. This is the CSS code I put on line#
   1 of the plugin options custom CSS
 * [@media](https://wordpress.org/support/users/media/) screen and (max-width: 768px){
 *  .tablepress-id-123 thead th,
    .tablepress-id-123 tbody td { display: block; }
 * }
 * Here is the link of the page that has Table ID 123.
 * [http://stadiumstay.com/listing/washington-redskins-hotels-fedexfield/](http://stadiumstay.com/listing/washington-redskins-hotels-fedexfield/)
 * On that page, I put 2 table shortcodes so that you can see them both. This is
   the first
    [table id=123 /]
 * and this is the second [table id=123 responsive=collapse /]
 * No matter what I do or try I can’t get that first table to have column B always
   visible under column A. Also I have about 500 tables. Is there a CSS code I can
   use that will work with all of them at once or do I have to put one code in custom
   CSS for each table ID? Thank You Again….. Stephanie

 * Hi,
 * it seems like the TablePress CSS files are not updating properly on your site,
   probably due to file access rights on the server.
    Could you therefore please
   log in via FTP and delete the three files /wp-content/tablepress-custom.css /
   wp-content/tablepress-custom.min.css /wp-content/tablepress-combined.min.css 
   on your server and then save the “Custom CSS” again?
 * After that, the table layout should change on small screens, as expected.
 * If you really want to apply this code to ALL tables on the site, you could use
   the code
 *     ```
       @media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
         .tablepress thead th,
         .tablepress tbody td {
           display: block;
         }
       }
       ```
   
 * Note how this doesn’t have a table ID in it, so that it applies to all tables.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Ok Thank You for all your help. I will try it as soon as I can figure out why
   I can’t connect to the server in FileZilla. If anyone can help me figure out 
   this error code they would be my hero.
    fzSftp started, protocol_version=8 Connection
   timed out after 20 seconds of inactivity Error: Could not connect to server
 * I will let you know if it works after I figure this out. I’ll have to do some
   research tomorrow to figure this out. Thanks again, you’ve gone above and beyond
