CSS issues after update

  • Hi, after updating to the latest version I now have css issues and my tables do not look the way they did before. They design also loads strangely.

    Edit: I performed a rollback and now it looks good. Sorry, cannot update to latest version.

    Hi @jezkerw!

    Thanks for your post and sorry for the trouble!

    This is indeed possible, due to changes in the HTML and DOM structure in TablePress 3.0.

    But no worries, these CSS updates should not be difficult. I therefore suggest that you do the update again and then provide details on what exactly is different. You might also want to check the examples at https://tablepress.org/faq/ for inspiration on the best ways to make certain changes.

    Remaining on the old version of TablePress is not a good idea and won’t help: These changes in TablePress are intentionally and will also be part of future versions.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias

    Hi Tobias,

    Rollback went fine and all looks good at the moment. I don’t understand why an update would affect the css design? If I understood why this happened, I could probably fix it but since I have no clue I don’t really have the motivation to dig deeper atm to be honest.

    I have my design in my child theme style.css if that helps? One of the main thing was that the shadow around my tables disappeared but also when loading, 1px lines were visible around the tables when refreshing and then disappeared. Strange behavior all around.

    Hi,

    the cause for this is that the update needed to update an internal JavaScript library (for the features like sorting, searching, etc.). This updated library has some backward-compatibility breaks, and one of them is a modernized HTML/DOM structure (for example to make the table accessible for users with disabilities). This means that the CSS selectors also had to be changed, which now requires adjustments in the CSS code.

    TablePress tries this itself during the update process, for all CSS code in the “Custom CSS” field on the “Plugin Options” screen. So, if your TablePress-specific styling is indeed in the theme’s style.css file, it could not be updated automatically.

    But again, doing this manually is not a big problem. It would however be necessary that you update to TablePress 3.0 again, so that we can look at this.

    If you don’t do this, you will have to stay on TablePress 2.4.4 forever, which I really don’t recommend.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias
