Working With Tables in Visual Editor

  • I’m running a site for a client that has a pretty big table that they want to be able to edit themselves. Now, they have absolutely zero computer skills, so editing through the WYSIWYG was great until the latest update. I have a pretty big table composed, and in the visual editor it would bring up a horizontal scrollbar to view and edit the table.

    Here is what the table looks like:

    Ever since the latest update the horizontal scroll does not appear and now everything is squished in the table, running really long vertically in the editor.

    Here is what it looks like in editor view:

    Is there anyway to get it so that wordpress doesn’t squish the table?

    The client has complained that he can no longer edit the table with how hard it is to read in the editor and I honestly have no clue how to fix this.

  • 1. You may have table, th, td and other table specific parameters defined in your CSS which may cause conflicts when working with tables in WordPress.

    2. You may try to literally declare the width of the columns.

    3. You may try a plugin such as tablepress though personally I hate plugins for tables or columns.
