    TablePress is greatly useful! Thank you so much!

    My table has fixed column widths. I want a horizontal scroll bar rather than reflowing the text expanding it vertically. Can you make a CSS recommendation?

    I have fiddled with the CSS for more than 6 hours in the last two days and I am not getting it right. I don’t know what I am doing. I donated $50 to tablepress this morning. Hopefully, that helps.

    Again, thank you for the great plugin!

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble. And also thanks a lot for the donation, I really appreciate it!

    One trick that has worked here in the past is to set column widths with the min-width CSS property, like

    .tablepress-id-1 .column-1 {
  min-width: 40px;
}
.tablepress-id-1 .column-2 {
  min-width: 450px;
}

    Can you maybe try that?

    Regards,
    Tobias

In a matter of minutes of his time, he answers a question I could not figure out myself in 6 hours. My time is valuable. I need the time. $50 motivated Tobias to respond fast, and I am grateful for his response.
