Scroll bar for too many columns?

You need to add some custom CSS to set up a horizontal scroll. It’s not the best UI, but it will allow users to see all the columns by scrolling. Try something like this…you will probably need to adjust this according to your particular situation, this is just the general idea:

.wrap.pdb-list {
   overflow: auto;
}

If you want more control over it, you’ll need to use a custom template so you can set up the html as needed.

Hi Roland,

Thanks for the reply. When you mention adding custom CSS, is this best handled in the WordPress interface > Dashboard > Participants Database > Settings > Custom CSS and then somewhere in there?
Or is this best managed in one of the php files and editing the php code? By the way, I am using php-list-custom.php as my main file in a custom template like you mentioned in one of your articles on your site.

Thanks!

It’s best to use the Custom CSS setting for something like that.

Wow, I think that did the trick. I’ll play around with it some but it’s way easier than what I was doing!

Thanks!

Roland, this is working great for the front end on the web (wordpress page). But on the backend (or really the middle end? middle middle?) on the admin page (List Participants page), there is no scroll bar option and the page does what it can to squeeeeeeeeeze all of my columns into one small area. Is there a way to add a scroll bar there?

Take a look at the plugin settings under the “Admin” tab there is a preference to allow horizontal scrolling.

Excellent! That worked!
