coloum 1 too width, coloum 2 the wording being push to 2 line

Hi Manuel,

thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

You can’t really change the column widths of this table, as the text and content in the table simply requires more space (it’s at 1281 pixels at the moment). This is caused by the long words in the cells, as the longest word in each column defines the minimum width for this column (the reason is that the browser can not automatically add word-wrapping/line breaks).

Moving the table to the left will have to be done in the theme. Your theme’s page template seems to be using a rather small content area, where all content start near the center of the page, as the text area is then smaller. You could try to choose a different page template on the “Edit” screen of this page, e.g. something like “Full width”. If that’s not possible, you will have to modify the theme’s CSS to have a larger content area so that the table hopefully fits better.

Hi Tobias,

thank your for your friendly support.

But, please, one more question to clarify my problem.

Is it possible to extand the coloum’s or row’s width just a bit? I would like to present to features of my products more consise. If a bullet point is in 2 or 3 rows, that’s OK. But I don’t want to have it in more than 5 rows.

Thank you again for answering my question.

Best regards
Manuel

Hi,

the only way that I see would be to turn off line breaks, e.g. via

.tablepress-id-1 th,
.tablepress-id-1 td {
  white-space: nowrap;
}

You would then have to add all desired line breaks manually (by pressing Enter at the desired locations).

Hi Tobias,

thank you again for your support.

I changed the code and it’s much better now.

Although tablepress is a great plugin, it doesn’t fit 100 percent for my page. Perhaps you can recommend a plugin that fits more? As you see on my page it’s important for me to compare the product’s features on one site clearly arranged.

Manuel

Hi,

good to hear that this helps to some degree.

Note that this is not an issue with TablePress but with HTML tables in general. You will have the same problem with all other table plugins.
You simply can not make a table fit if there’s too much content/text in it for the available content area.

Tobias
