Trying to update;
(a) WordFence Security Ver7.5.11 to 7.6.00
(b) UpdraftPlus Backup/Restore Ver1.12.12 to 1.12.14 for which a similar message returned by the system.“An error occurred while updating Wordfence Security: The update cannot be installed because some files could not be copied. This is usually due to inconsistent file permissions.”
Context: Running latest version of WordPress. Recently updated site to “https://”. Site is located on an ISP’s platform.
I’m a non-tech person and do not have ready access to such expertise seeking assistance.
Thanks
Ray.Hi Tobias,
Thanks very much for your guidance and apologies for taking a week to let you know how I got on (today). Excellent outcomes achieved.(a) Responsive Tables Extension. I have installed this. My perception was it made no difference to the scrolling, nor how column widths function in this instance.
(b) Column widths. I had no success with using “standard methods”. Eventually in the heading row I inserted an additional line and inserted hyphens which have the effect of forcing minimum column widths. I noted where there are unbroken strings of characters, as in URL’s, no line wrapping occurs – this happens too in “word” for instance. It was this which lead me to using the hyphens (or any other unbroken string). Not particularly elegant, but it works!
(c) Vertical-align. Yes, that did help.
(d) Padding. Using your suggestion resulted in a very noticeable improvement.
I also came across your tool to convert URL strings in to hypertext – thank you. This was something else I was on the look out for. I have also seen the tool for printing page content; in due course that too will be very useful.
Both tables are now published and are available as ‘child pages’ from http://www.sustainabilitymatters.co.nz/resources/

RayHi Tobias,
Thanks hugely for your very rapid response.I agree with you about the scrolling – the fewer columns – and the less material in them, the less likely that would be an issue.
The page which has really brought this to notice is a draft page, not yet published, at http://www.sustainabilitymatters.co.nz/?page_id=382&preview=true
There is another page, which is published, although still work-in-progress, at http://www.sustainabilitymatters.co.nz/resources/ In this case I have achieved greater success with column widths. I have not been able to work out why.
The purpose of both tables is to provide site users searchable, sortable lists of material about my area of interest. As far as I am aware no one who has these interests has prepared a list of such material.
Once developed I would also like users to be able to print selected material which they feel is of interest to them. But first things first!
Thanks
Ray
