Controlling Column Widths

    I have been using your plugin on my WordPress site http://www.griffinbikepark.com on a few pages, and it’s been really helpful. I’m new to WordPress, but can get by using shortcode as it’s described well on your plugin FAQ’s.

    I’ve read all the forums, websites, FAQ’s, etc, but I don’t understand how your plugin decides what the columns widths will be and more importantly how I can control the column widths.

    Here is where my problem is located, the spreadsheet extends beyond the page even though my design module is set for 3/4 and 1/4 columns across the page: https://griffinbikepark.com/news

    Here is my shortcode:

    [gdoc key=”https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mFOC6dogVyLBKnXfN-SGmrUMCUj7CCP5T3TCnAOBwCg/edit?usp=sharing” query=”select A, B, C, D” datatables_order=”Date” use_cache=”no”]

    I don’t know the difference between shortcode and CSS, but my understanding is I can only control column widths using CSS. I have no idea how to edit my shortcode and/or add CSS to it to make this work.

    PS. Ideally I could control the spreadsheet widths in my Google Spreadsheet and not have to do it in WordPress. Is this possible?

    Any help/information you can provide is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    I don’t understand how your plugin decides what the columns widths will be

    This is an automatic process that all tables (not just those created by this plugin) go through, whose details are described here.

    my understanding is I can only control column widths using CSS.

    That’s correct.

    I have no idea how to edit my shortcode and/or add CSS to it to make this work.

    Then you need to learn how to write CSS, or have someone else who does write some for you. The Internet has a lot of articles about doing this that can help you start out. Here’s one.

    No.

    I need to hire someone experienced in writing CSS and ideally familiar with this plugin to help me solve my issues with customizing the column widths in the ~3 spreadsheets on my site.

    Does anyone out there meet these qualifications and available immediately?

    Thanks. Please contact me at: [email protected]
