    Hi,

    I am writing on a blog post, in which I have to use many tables.
    I prepared the tables already in “google sheets”.

    When I copy&paste now the tables into wordpress, the table style of the theme is used.
    (alternating background and text color, see the link in the private content).

    I simply want the first-row to be with grey background and the other rows/cells below with white background.
    The text should be black (see this screenshot from google sheets, to see what I mean).

    How can I overwrite the theme CSS for tables to achive the desired style?

    Hey catchbudapest,

    Please try the following in Quick CSS under Enfold->General Styling:

    .main_color tr:nth-child(odd) {
  background:#fff !important;
}

    Best regards,
    Rikard

    Thanks Rikard!

    I got it now, with “(odd)” and “(even)” and “th” I can style the table according to my needs.

    Great! I’m glad Rikard was able to help with this situation. Did you need further help, or shall we close this topic?

    Hi,

    I just realized that my tables are not responsive for mobile devices (on very small screens a part is cut off).

    Is there a simple trick to make the tables responsive? (it would be enough if it can be scrolled on very small screens)
    I already tried to add:
    <table style="width:100%; overflow: scroll;">

    But unfortunately that didn’t really work.

    Hi,

    Unfortunately tables are not able to be made full responsive on mobile. What you could possible do is create a “mobile only” div or section that would feature a more mobile friendly data presentation.

    Hi,

    do you have something like this in mind:

    <div style="overflow-x:auto;">
  <table>
    ...
  </table>
</div>

    Seems to work after a quick check.
    Do you see any problems with this approach?

    Hi,

    Yes, though it would seem good since you will still have that table layout but you need to scroll horizontally to see all of it. What I usually suggest is to create 2 tables, 1 for desktop and tablets and 1 for mobile, use Screen Settings to hide/show tables.

    Best regards,
