    Hello.
    It seems that this specific table does not have enough ‘width’ to extend over the width of the page, so the horizontal scroll does not ‘trigger’.
    Did you try to test this with a table that has more columns and more width that extends over the page width?
    For example, if we edit the CSS on your page as a test and if we ‘shrink’ this table slightly, the horizontal scroll appears :

    Let us know if that helps?
    If not, we can take a closer look to investigate, but we won’t be able to proceed with troubleshooting here,
    If it comes to that,
    please open a ticket on our main Support platform here,

     and one of our Agents there will respond as quickly as possible.

    Thank you for understanding. 

    Kind regards.

    That’s not at all helpful.

    It was working perfectly a couple days ago on all of my scoreboard tables, I updated them with an extra column each, did a wordpress update and now none of them show a horizontal scroll bar.
    Why would it be working fine a few days ago with a column less if it’s a width problem?

    The image you also showed above doesn’t have anywhere near enough scroll space, that table has 28 columns, all of which are visible in the wpDatatable editor. (Video below)

    The three that do on this page below one are only listing 5 out of the 11 columns that are in the Excel file (and that appear in the table edit view)

    Also if you open the pages on my phone, it cuts off even more columns and still doesn’t give me the option to scroll.

    Hello,
    our sincere apologies, we did not correctly understand at first that it was already working before with the same table setup and same number of columns,
    we realized that after your replies.
    Sorry about that.
    –
    We are happy to see that you resolved the issue.
    By the looks of it, it was most probably some kind of a conflict on site,
    between wpDatatables and another active Plugin.
    Since you updated some Plugins – it is most likely one of them that had the conflict with our Plugin, ( overriding our table default styles)
    but it seems to be resolved.
    We will be here though, let us know if anything like that happens again.
    Thank you.
