Fixed width table cells

Hi there

Is there a way to fix the width of all tables - maybe with a CSS code?

They always show better on mobile when they are fixed. So instead of going back and finding all tables, a code would be nice.

Thanks
David

Hi there,

can i see a post/page with a table on your site ?

I have attached a post;

Looking at it now, maybe it's best not to fix the width and let the user scroll - it's a mobile issue when displaying wide tables.

While I was looking at it, I was looking at the typography options to make the text smaller, but there is not one that is specific for tables - do you have a CSS code to define the typography size for tables?

Thanks

OK so there are some options:

1. You can set a fixed with on smaller screen sizes so the table will scroll:

@media(max-width: 768px) {
    .wp-block-table td {
        width: 250px;
    }  
}

2. Font sizes
Go to Customizer > Typography, and Add Typography and from the Element list select: Custom and in the Enter custom CSS selector. field add: .wp-block-table

Then you can set desktop, tablet and mobile font styles.

Perfect! That looks great now. Thanks a lot David.

Awesome - glad to hear that!
