 * Hi,
    I am using the Tablepress Extension and have included the code [table id
   =3 responsive=scroll /] to activate the scroll function. I don’t have the “Use
   Datatables” checked.
 * On the website it shows the table with a scrollbar and appears to be working 
   as designed.
    However, on a mobile it won’t scroll past Column 9 and I have tried
   lots of fixes suggested in other posts but cannot resolve the issue. I also want
   the table to display in full on the website without the scrollbar and only use
   the scrollbar when it goes to the mobile. Any advice on how to achieve both issues.
 * Thanks in advance,
    Deano

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * From what I can see, this is caused by the settings in your theme. The “column”
   that you used in the block editor for this page has a width of 500 pixels set,
   which is wider than the screen, on mobiles. You’ll somehow need to change that
   500px value or remove it.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Thanks Tobias. I had spent some time looking for a width setting suspecting that
   was creating a problem. Clearly I did not look hard enough given on your prompting
   of that being the issue I looked harder and found the 500 set within the Text
   Element holding the table code.
    Cheers, Peter
