Columns only 1 character width

Your theme or a plugin is overriding your table style. You can use your browser’s element inspector to find the offending line. Or send me a link to the page.

Thanks for taking a look! https://trackrecord.solutions/document-archive/

I found it. Thank you for your support and for the OUTSTANDING plugin!

Glad to hear it. No problem. Have fun!

I am having the same problem. Can you describe what the fix was?

It was a CSS issue… I changed one line to;

table[id^="ssfa-table"].ssfa-whitestripes > tbody > tr > td {
	padding: 5px 5px 5px 10px;
}

Actually, what you want to do is probably this:

table[id^=”ssfa-table”] {table-layout:auto!important;}

It overrides a stupid style decision Twenty-Sixteen and a few other new themes make.

Grateful if you would advise which CSS file I need to edit, and if I am to change an existing line or add the corrected line somewhere in the file.

FYI, I am using the minimalist table theme.

After fiddling with it a bit, it appears that I needed to edit fileaway-styles.css and change the lines:

body table[id^="ssfa-table"] {
    padding: 0;
    width: 100%;
}

to:

body table[id^="ssfa-table"] {
    table-layout: auto!important;
}

Was this the correct and proper way to do this?

Actually you don’t want to edit the source file. There is a CSS Editor tab on the File Away settings page. Add any custom css there and it won’t get overwritten on plugin updates. Thanks for the kind review!

Thanks. I followed the directions on the Tutorials tab for Custom Table Styles to create my own custom table style based on Minimalist.

I added the following to the top of it…

body table[id^="ssfa-table"] {
    table-layout: auto!important;
}

…and it fixed my 1-character column issue.
