CSS for tables
11 replies · Started by Hafsa on March 6, 2020
Hi,
I'm using table press to put up a lot of content in tables. However, I wish to stylize it with the same fonts, text, colors as I have in the original container. Requesting guidance on the CSS here, and how to implement the same.
Thanks.
Hi there,
have you checked first in the Tablepress settings - i would assume it has some 'themeing' controls ie. inherit Theme colors / fonts .... more you can do within the plugin the better. Let me know.
Hi, They allow you to manually put in a css but unfortunately nothing more.

Could you please help me get a basic css together - this themed in a similar matter to our containers? Will really appreciate your support.
Table Header background, #666666
Table entries Font: nono sans
Table entries Font Size: 12px bold
Table entries Font: nono sans
Table entries Font Size: 12px
Alternative colours of table rows, #FFFFFF and #3A3A3A
Table border: 1px solid #bbbbbb;
Table border-radius: 10px;

Hi there,
Let me know if this helps or not:
.tablepress thead th {
background: #666666;
color: #fff;
}
.tablepress tbody tr td {
font-family: "noto sans";
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
}
.tablepress .odd td {
background: #3A3A3A;
}
Hi Tom,
The CSS styling seems to be getting an over-ride.This appears (https://prnt.sc/rdj1oc), and the is immediately changed to (https://prnt.sc/rdj1lv). I'm using SimpleCSS.
Could you please guide?
How did you add the CSS to the site ?
The plugin docs mention the plugin has its own Custom CSS field - maybe worth trying that.
Hi,
I'm almost there, but struggling with one minor issue.
On desktop, I'm trying to turn off a pre-defined width of 514px for "dataTables_scrollHeadInner" (https://prnt.sc/rdygq7) and for "tablepress tablepress-id-2 dataTable no-footer" (https://prnt.sc/rdygrv). Instead, I just want the width to be 100% for the table to appear fully in my container.
I've tried numerous iterations (https://prnt.sc/rdygwr), but it's not working.
Could you advise on the right way of fixing the CSS?
Thanks.
P.S. This is the table that i'm referring to,

Ok to overwrite Inline CSS Styles requires the !important statement, so give this CSS a shot:
.dataTables_scrollHeadInner,
.dataTables_scrollBody,
.dataTables_wrapper .tablepress {
max-width: 100% !important;
width: 100% !important;
}
It worked, thank you :)
You're welcome
