    Hi. I cant get links to work correctly. I understand the link in on the actual link text and not the cell content. The obvious answer is to leave the cell blank and simply display the link text. But when I do this, the link text is only visible when the cursor is hovering over it – resulting in a table that doesn’t display entire content – at least until the user hovers over apparently empty cell.

    You can see a “test” page on http://www.allhotelsireland.com

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    I’n not really sure what you mean here. A link will indeed need a link text (additional to its URL) which will then be made clickable.
    When using the “Insert Link” button below the table input fields, you will be asked for these two things. Can you maybe try that again?

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi Tobias,

    Thanks for your reply.
    What i’m trying to achieve is a cell containing one word which also contains the url link. I think I should be able to achieve this by initially leaving the cell empty, then using the “Add Link” enter Link Text with the link embedded in it. But…on my site the links are shown in ‘lime green’ and I think the problem is that these are simply not viewable against the light background. The links themselves work fine, but the problem is every cell looks empty until you hover over the link and then the green font becomes viewable.

    I have also tried to change the colour of the background for the cells in CSS using the script in FAQ but i haven’t got this to work – example below :

    .tablepress-id-4 .odd td {
    background-color: #FFBC8F8F;
    }

    I’ll make sure there are samples on the “Test” page on http://www.allhotelsireland.com

    Thanks again for your reply. Its much appreciated.

    Hi,

    ah, got it now! Thanks for the explanation! So this is basically just a styling problem, as your theme sets a light/white link text color, which obviously does not work well on light backgrounds.
    To change this in tables, please simply add this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:

    .tablepress a {
    	color: #000000;
    	text-decoration: none;
    }

    Regards,
    Tobias
