 * Hi,
 * First of all, huge fan of Tablepress!
 * I recently found the Row Filtering function which is GREAT for some of my needs.
   
   I can set it up and get it to work fine, but many columns appear as hidden.
 * When using the hide_columns functionality, it does work.
 * You can see an example here:
    [https://www.macgamerhq.com/apple-m1/sims-4-m1-mac/](https://www.macgamerhq.com/apple-m1/sims-4-m1-mac/)
 * PS: The original table has the first raw as hidden in the backend, hope that’s
   not an issue?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fhidde%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * I’m not sure that I understand. What exactly is the problem?

 * The issue is that the table should normally show 8 columns, such as in here:
   
   [https://www.macgamerhq.com/apple-m1/native-mac-m1-games/](https://www.macgamerhq.com/apple-m1/native-mac-m1-games/)
 * But when used elsewhere with filtering + hide_columns, only 6 rows show. No matter
   the code I used, the hide_columns is not working and even when removing all hide_columns,
   I can’t see all 8 columns.

 * Hi,
 * the cause for that probably is the CSS code
 *     ```
       .m1-native .column-3,
       .m1-native .column-9,
       .m1-native .column-10 {
         display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * that is in your “Custom CSS”.

 * Hi Tobias,
 * That’s what I imagined at first, but the hidden columns are not the same when
   using filtering?
 * Maybe it’s because the hide_columns function counts columns differently? If that’s
   the case, how can I ensure both versions hide the same columns?

 * Hi,
 * `hide_columns` will always count the columns as they are shown on the “Edit” 
   screen.
    The “Custom CSS” will count (starting with a “fresh” count) only the
   columns that are sent to the browser (so it will take the remaining columns after`
   hide_columns` has been processed and only work with those).

 * Thank you for the feedback Tobias. I found other solutions.
 * Last question, when setting width for a column, such as:
 * .tablepress-id-11 .column-6 {
    width: 300px !important; }
 * Is it really necessary to use the !important ?
 * I find this to be an issue when dealing with Row Filtering function…

 * Hi,
 * the `!important` flag is used to overwrite CSS of higher priority. Whether it
   is necessary or not depends on the influence of other CSS, so it always has to
   be tested.
 * Note that the Row Filtering Extension has no influence on the layout in any way.
   It only defines which rows to show. Now, when there are cells with e.g. wide 
   content, that will influence the column width.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
