 * Hi Tobias,
 * I installed the Responsive Tables extension and used this shortcode [table id
   =1 responsive=”scroll” /] (tried also without “”), but the table is still not
   scrollable and overflows the screen.
 * I also tried disabling DataTables JavaScript.
 * Am I doing something wrong?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fresponsive-scroll-not-working-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * That’s indeed a bit strange… My feeling is that your theme’s CSS somehow plays
   a role here.
    Can you please turn off the “Use DataTables” checkbox so that I
   can check things again then?
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Thank you for such a quick reply. Just turned DataTables off.
 * Also, I’m not using any theme, I’m using Oxygen Builder that disables an active
   theme ([https://oxygenbuilder.com/frequently-asked-questions/#:~:text=Will%20my%20theme,Oxygen%20is%20active](https://oxygenbuilder.com/frequently-asked-questions/#:~:text=Will%20my%20theme,Oxygen%20is%20active).).

 * Hi,
 * well, in some way, Oxygen now is your theme 😉 As it adds its own CSS styling,
   that’s what it’s influencing this then.
    I can therefore only recommend to ask
   their support team for help here. It looks like their CSS is preventing the table
   container from having a 100% width or something like that.

    Tobias

 * Hey, so for tables used with Gutenberg, this code fixes it:
 *     ```
       .ct-text-block, .ct-span {
         max-width: 100%;
         width: 100%;
       }
       ```
   
 * For tables used with Oxygen Builder, I just add the following to each shortcode
   element’s CSS settings:
 *     ```
       max-width: 100%;
       width: 100%;
       ```

 * Hi,
 * great! Yes, I was also thinking of some CSS like that but couldn’t quickly find
   which element to add it to. Good to hear that it’s working now!
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias   P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress [here](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/reviews/#new-post)
   in the plugin directory. Thanks!
