Hi,

The table is wrapping text weirdly. Not sure why ? especially if its a 2 column table. Kindly review it and help me resolve it.

Hi Amit,

Table is not a well-responsive element, especially when it doesn't have a custom CSS class, it's hard to target in CSS.

You can give this CSS a try:

.postid-14548 figure.wp-block-table.aligncenter.is-style-stripes tbody > tr > td:first-child {
    width: 20%;
}

Adding CSS: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-css/

OK, I am new to CSS so a bit of a stupid question. Due to .postid-1458, this works only for a specific table? Can we do something generic that takes effect for all the tables?

That's right. it's post specific.

Can we do something generic that takes effect for all the tables?

Can you specify the scope of which posts/pages you want the CSS to apply on?

If its for the single post pages, try this:

body.single-post figure.wp-block-table.aligncenter.is-style-stripes tbody > tr > td:first-child {
    width: 20%;
}

ya, that is for single post pages :).

The CSS I've provided should work then.

Let us know if you need further help. :D

Thanks, a lot Elvin. I will try and get back to you.

No problem.

Let us know how it goes.

Reminder: tables may require a bit more elaborate CSS for their width. we may have to add width properties to the other table column siblings.
