Tobias, could you possibly please give me some information as to how I could change the width of the columns. I would like the three date columns to have the entire date on one line and the column after that less wide. Thanks.
I am still trying to correct the column widths to have them set properly. I tried changing columns 4, 5 and 6 to a different width but that didn’t change anything. Column 7 is far too wide and if that could be set to a smaller width, then 4, 5 and 6 should show the date on one line. What I did try is as follows and if you could advise what changes I should make, I would appreciate it.
.tablepress-id-42 .column-4 {
width: 110px;
}.tablepress-id-42 .column-5 {
width: 110px;
}.tablepress-id-42 .column-6 {
width: 110px;
}After a great deal of fussing with the date, I finally found a format that tablepress would accept. Thank you for your assistance. I have one further question as to the width of individual columns. In this table I would like to change the width of the “burial/cremation” column to a narrower width and change the width of the two date columns to a wider width. What settings do I edit to effect that change? The url is http://www.qbfhs.ca/parksville-newspaper-obituary-index-1982-2002/2000-2002-pqb-newspaper-obituaries/
Again, thank you.
I am now at my complete wit’s end with this. I have followed all the instructions, imported it with the proper extension and I still have incorrect dates. The dates are now all a series of numbers – not even close to an actual date. This is now day two and it was supposed to be uploaded and ready to go yesterday. Do you have any other suggestions as to how I can have it uploaded with the correct dates? Thank you.
I just tried importing using the 2007 – 2013 experimental format and it changed all my dates to a series of numbers. As I said, this has never happened before.
Once you begin the import selection there are several choices. Two of them are Excel choices with (experimental) in brackets. Are you saying I am to use one of those?
I really need some assistance as soon as possible. I do need to upload this table but am running into a problem as mentioned in my previous e-mails that has never happened to me with all the other tables I uploaded. My usual method is to import the table in Excel format and have it import as a csv. I cannot change the excel format to csv prior to uploading as it changes all the formatting on my dates. If you could provide some information as to how I can fix this problem, I would be grateful. Thank you.
A further reply: This morning I successfully uploaded a table, importing it in excel format and choosing the option to import as a csv file. It imported successfully. Unfortunately I had to delete that able and begin again. The following three or four uploads, using the same method, were unsuccessful. If I convert my excel table to csv before uploading it, all my date formats are gibberish. Has something changed in Tablepress to make this problem arise?
Thank you for your reply. I have never had to save an Excel workbook as a csv file before importing it previously. If I do save it as a csv file before importing it, all my dates are a series of xxxx’s. Is there some other reason that this is happening?
