 * How can I tell it’s working in the resulting pagecode? As I cannot see it working
   in the page itself. Seemed easy enough to install the plugin and extending the
   shortcode, however no results are visible. Please advise, thanks.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * 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!

   scroll to ‘Vennootschappelijke balans per 31 december 2013’ (under ‘Jaarrekening’).
   I’ve set it to responsive=all for that table. This is just the demo location,
   so I’m aware the rest of this site is not responsive (yet). Thanks in advance.

 * From a local test I can now tell it does add css classes to the table, but it
   doesn’t load the plugin’s css files.

 * Hi,
 * indeed, the CSS files for TablePress are not loaded. Have you maybe turned off
   the loading of the files with some PHP hook, e.g. in the theme’s “functions.php”?

 * Oops, as a matter of fact I found `add_filter( 'tablepress_use_default_css', '
   __return_false' );` because we need our own css. Uncommenting fixed the display.
   How can I combine those 2 requirements?

 * Hi,
 * ok, that’s what I had thought 🙂
 * In that case, the easiest solution probably is to copy the CSS code from the 
   Responsive Tables Extension into your own CSS file as well.
 * Now, due to the structure of your table, you’ll then probably still not be satisfied.
   If that is the case, an alternative could be to use the approach from [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/responsive-tables-scroll-only?replies=6#post-5511954](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/responsive-tables-scroll-only?replies=6#post-5511954)
   instead of the Extension.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
