Tablepress Sticky Header

Hi,

thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

To fix this, please add this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:

.tablepress.fixedHeader-floating {
    z-index: 1000;
}

Regards,
Tobias

Hi Tobias,

Thanks for your quick reply. I actually already tried that and some other custom CSS earlier today. But it seems none of the custom CSS is being picked up at all. Any ideas why that might be? I’ve added it in the plugin area specified. I have cleared and then disabled all caches. Thanks.

Hi,

the CSS is loaded, but it seems that the priority is not high enough. Please try again with

.tablepress.fixedHeader-floating {
    z-index: 1000 !important;
}

Regards,
Tobias

That works ?? Thank you.

Hi,

no problem, you are very welcome! ?? Good to hear that this helped!

Best wishes,
Tobias

P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!

Hi Tobias,

Small issue I’ve just clocked. For our WP sticky menu in header, when you scroll down page, and hover over it, the sub menu appears behind the sticky header row of the table. Tried editing the z-index with CSS to bring it on top, but no joy. Any idea how to fix? Thanks.

Hi,

hhm, that’s a tricky one. I also tried to play with the z-index, but could not make it work ??

Is lowering the z-index of the sticky header of your plugin the solution? Or some other CSS to set priority of what sits on top?

Hi,

the z-index of the FixedHeader (for the table) has to be set to 1000 right now so that it hovers above the theme elements (which somewhere seem to have a rather high z-index). So, there’s no real freedom to lower it.

Ok, what is solution then? Lots of websites must also have same issue with this plugin? Is it theme issue? I don’t think so, as z-index higher value should prioritise and force to sit on top.

Hi,

it’s difficult to put the blame on someone here. It’s probably a consequence of the HTML and CSS structure/combination of the theme menu and the fixed header row. You could maybe try asking the theme developers, maybe they have an idea here.
