 * Hello,
 * The tables displayed on my website are broken by the new responsive plugin enabled
   by default. They keep the horizontal scrollbar and show the + button but nothing
   shows on row expand and the column width is forced larger and the two fixed columns
   occupy almost all the table view so the others columns are almost unreadable.
 * I’m guessing it’s a conflict between the fixed columns class and the responsive
   plugin ?
 * Example code :
 * [gdoc key=”[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tatc0EBIpXgBzEFwakzqYCcbO7d6v0r7K9Cua2KVYek/edit&#8221](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tatc0EBIpXgBzEFwakzqYCcbO7d6v0r7K9Cua2KVYek/edit&#8221);
   query=”Select B,C,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,P,R,T,U,V,W,AC,AF,AG,AH,AI WHERE A =’Châtellerault’
   ORDER BY B asc” class=”FixedColumns-left-2″]
 * Example with one fixed column : [http://www.logrami.fr/actions/stations-comptage/decize/](http://www.logrami.fr/actions/stations-comptage/decize/)
 * I can restore them by adding the no-responsive class but I’d like a way to choose
   the default settings somewhere in plugin settings instead of rewriting all shortcodes
   to remove the responsive functionality.
 * Thanks for your work !

 * I’m not going to implement a plugin-wide option for this because that violates
   [the principle of least surprise](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_astonishment).
 * Since all you want to do is indiscriminately insert the `no-responsive` class
   into all of your `[gdoc]` shortcodes that declare a `FixedColumns` class, you
   should instead just do a find-and-replace operation on your WordPress content.(
   Why do the same thing more than once when doing the same task multiple times 
   in quick succession is what computers were invented for?)
 * Make a backup of your WordPress database, then issue a MySQL query similar to
   the following, which should do it:
 *     ```
       UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = REPLACE(post_content, 'class="FixedColumns', 'class="no-responsive FixedColumns');
       ```
   
 * See [the MySQL manual entry for its `REPLACE()` function](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/string-functions.html#function_replace).

   in the left side of the headers table! Please help!!

 * Clearly, there is probably some kind of style conflict in your theme. My browser
   runs with a number of blockers, so maybe you’re loading something that you don’t
   need.
 * Style conflicts is not something I offer support around, as it is specific to
   your website’s theme.
