Column Deletion

Using WP 4.9
Need to delete a column, but there are NO boxes below any columns to select. How can I make the boxes appear, so I can select a column?

Hi,
thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
These boxes are on the table’s “Edit” screen, see for example this screenshot: https://ps.w.org/tablepress/assets/screenshot-2.png?rev=1064192
They are at the bottom of the “Table Content” section, below the input fields.Regards,
TobiasNo, this is what I am trying to say……the boxes are NOT appearing at the bottom. Here is a link that shows this. I am using TablePress version 1.8.1

okay, that’s strange. I can only assume that another plugin or your theme are interfering here. Can you therefore please try again after temporarily deactivating all other plugins and after switching to a WordPress default theme like Twenty Sixteen? That way, we can find what’s causing this.
Regards,
TobiasI have several tables in TablePress. None of them are showing the boxes at the bottom. We recently installed/implemented WooCommerce and a few plugins. I’m not savvy enough to perform the task that you have requested.
For now, I just moved the column off to the right and cleared it out. Hopefully, you will find a fix for it soon.
Thanks!
Hi,
I can not reproduce this problem on any of my test sites and haven’t received other reports about this, so that I can only assume that something that is installed on your site is interfering. For example, another plugin might be adding its code on the TablePress admin screen, which is a bad thing to do.
To find out what’s causing this, the suggestion of deactivating all other plugins is the only thing I can recommend here. Alternatively, if possible, I can offer to take a direct look at this on your site. Could you therefore please create a temporary admin account for me and send me the details via email (the address is in the main plugin file “tablepress.php”)? That way, I can investigate this directly. Thanks!
Regards,
TobiasSorry, I do not know how to find/access tablepress.php. I am not that technical. I am willing to set up a temp user, but I’d need to know where to send it.
Thanks for the help!!!
Hi,
ok, then please use the email address on https://tablepress.org/impressum/
That should be easier to find 🙂Regards,
TobiasHi,
thanks for the email with the account details. I was able to log in and could verify the issue. The cause for it is some custom CSS code that is added via your child theme. Specifically, there’s the function “my_custom_fonts()” in the child theme’s “functions.php” file that is adding CSS code to hide the table footer row of all tables on all admin screens (among other things, presumably to hide information on some screens that is deemed irrelevant). This is very bad and interferes here. I can only assume that you or your developer added this to your child theme.
I have now added a small piece of CSS there that will again show the table footer row with the checkboxes on TablePress admin screens.
Regards,
TobiasThanks so much!!! We had some contractors who did this work and I will check with them to review and fix. I appreciate all you have done…..spread the word!!!!!
