    Hi author, your have built a very good plugin for table.Thank you for that.
    In that we have so problems for our requirement.

    Problem:
    1. When i merge column, it gives me a waring”Attention: You have enabled the usage of the DataTables JavaScript library for features like sorting, search, or pagination” and it doesn’t allow me to use any javascript libary features.How to solve this and use both java script fuctions and colspan.

    2.Currently in table, the given text is wrapping to next line.Consider a sentence “Round 1 place”. This sentence currently displays like “Round 1” in first line and then in second line “place”.
    This is how it looks now.

    Round 1
    place

    Need to avoid text wrapping, How to solve this too.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    1. This can’t be solved. The DataTables JS library does not support tables with colspan. That’s why you get this notice.
    In tables with colspan, you must uncheck the “Use DataTables” checkbox.
    You could however add Horizontal Scrolling (but not the other features) using the TablePress Extension from https://tablepress.org/extensions/responsive-tables/

    2. For this, either set columns width higher, using tablepress.org/faq/column-widths/ or prevent automatic line breaks by adding something like

    .tablepress-id-123 .column-1 {
  white-space: nowrap;
}

    to the “Custom CSS”.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi,

    this is the correct Shortcode. Can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!

    This is the article link where i have added the table shortcode.

    Can we add colspan to head row in the table?

    Hi,

    are you sure that you have downloaded, installed, and activated the Responsive Tables Extension? It doesn’t look like it.

    Yes, using colspan in the head row is possible, but you will not be able to use the features of the DataTables JS library.

    Sorry i have not installed the extension.

    Now i have installed the extension, it works great. Thank you for your great help and wonderful plugin.

    I have some more questions.

    1.Already i have an made a table in excel with all formatting things like merging the cells, Highlighting the text, text wrapping etc.

    Plugin is not taking the actual things which i have done in the excel.

    Is that possible to have like what i have done in the excel?

    2. Is there any way to automatically add colspan to the empty cells in the table.

    Hi,

    good to hear that the Extension works! ??

    1. About Excel: Sorry, TablePress can only import the data, but not any of the styling ??

    2. Adding #colspan# to all empty cells is also not possible (it would not in general be useful for people).
