[TablePress] Can’t prevent word breaks

    I’m afraid I’m at a complete loss when it comes to preventing longer words being broken into two lines within a table. I have googled ‘tablepress word breaks’, and the suggestion to use the word-break CSS property doesn’t work for me.

    I have tried

    .tablepress {
   word-break: keep-all;
}

    and I have also tried applying the property specifically to .tablepress thead th and .tablepress tbody td elements, to a specific table, as well as to the whole document body. Using ‘normal’ instead of ‘keep-all’ doesn’t make a difference either.

    Please help – I just can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong!

    Why you use Table Press? There are lots of other nice Table plugins.

    Anything in particular that you suggest? And would I be able to import my existing tables? I have created over half a dozen, with up to 100 entires each, and I really want to save myself from having to copy & paste the content of every single cell!

    It actually seems to be a problem that is related to the theme I am using (twenty-fifteen), as the issue also occurs outside of tables. I’ve tried applying the word-break attribute to the html element as well, but to no avail.

    I’ve found a solution, so I’ll post the link for anyone with the same problem who might come across this post:

    The issue has nothing to do with TablePress; rather, it is specific to Firefox and the Twenty Fifteen theme.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    This is indeed a theme issue. Good to hear that you were already able to fix this! 🙂

    Best wishes,

    Yes, it seems like I was wrongly placing the blame on TablePress – I actually really like the plug in, so I’ve rated it accordingly on the download page.

    Thanks for your time and effort, Tobias! 🙂
