    Hi Ian, I have a three column table (Text 5, Text 30, Text 90) and I want to reduce the size of the first two columns. I can reduce the second one, but not the first one – no matter what I set it to (e.g. 1) the rendering on the web page always comes out the same. It’s a bit weird – does this happen to you ? Thanks

    OK, but it’s not causing me any big problems so no rush at all. Thanks for being so responsive

    Hello Mike,

    I have looked into the problem and it seems that there is no issue.
    You can set the width of the first column, but there is one exception:
    – when you set the width explicitly to EVERY column and the table has 100% width (which is by default) – sizes are not applied.
    In this case, you can leave at least one column without the width to fill the remaining space OR set table width in pixels as following: [wp_table id="{id}" width="300px"].

    Please let me know if it helps.

    Regards,
    Ian

    Hi Mike,
    It’s good)

    Hi Ivan,

    I’m getting unusual behaviour with pixle width also.

    I’ve set the first column to 100 px and left the second column undefined.

    In the ‘preview’ the table shows a narrow 1st column and the balance in the 2nd column. But when it is displayed on the final web page it is 50/50. Link is below and first column is set at 100 px.

    I think it would be easier if the plugin allowed % width also. Then if you have 2 columns you could set say 25/75 and that would be the 100%. The reason I think % width would be better is this get a little bit tricky because of how the table displays on a mobile device.

    Thanks
    Justin

    Hello Justin,

    Thank you for writing.
    As for your table, it looks like it has 100px set for both columns (https://take.ms/LiqM3). In such case, it will not work. Please check the width of the second column and unset it.

    As for the % width, it sounds reasonable. Adding this to my backlog for the next updates.

    Please let me know if it helps.

    Regards,
    Ian
