    I have the issue that the text in the first column is not “stacking up” horizontally. So, whenever I have a bit more text in the first column, the table will look horrible, as there won’t be enough space for the remaining columns. How can I fix this issue and make sure these tables look good both on desktop and on mobile?

    I am not sure if this problem just happened after the last update of the plugin or if it has always been an issue. But I think I haven’t spotted this before! Need urgent help with this as I do have broken tables now all over the place on my website.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    This is caused by this block of code in your “Custom CSS” on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:

    /* Custom CSS to set minimum width for the first column */
.tablepress th:first-child,
.tablepress td:first-child {
	min-width: 150px; /* Adjust this value as needed */
	white-space: nowrap;
}

    Basically, this is instructing the browser to not do any word-wrapping in the first columns of all TablePress tables — which is not really reasonable.

    I recommend to remove this code.

    Instead, for possible options on making your tables look good and work nicely on small screens like phones as well, I recommend checking out the Responsive Tables feature module that is part of the TablePress premium license plans.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias
