Exceptional! It works! Thank you a lot for the time and the help.
Please mark this as solved.
Have a fantastic day!
Dear Shufflehound Support,
Thank you for the reply! Are you sure we can’t make it work? I really want to give this theme a good rating!
I don’t think I need a lot of customization. I just need the two following things:
-Make the theme use less padding on mobile so the width of the text would be on 90% of screen rather than 70% like it is now.
-Fix the Shortcodes Ultimate plugin button to show the buttons as it should on desktop – I’m pretty sure there’s a theme CSS file that overrides that.
Eventually we can do a refund, thank you! However I’d really hope you could help me with this. If not, well, I guess it is as it is. Just let me know again your final answer.
Regards
Eugen
Unfortunately, I don’t think this theme is a good fit for Amazon niche website. I’ve yet another problem.
I use a plugin called Shorcodes Ultimate for the custom buttons I use. Since I changed the theme, all my buttons lost 50% in width for DESKTOP. They look way thinner.
I tried to change the padding – no luck. There is definitely a CSS File from the theme overriding this. When I create the button in SU – here’s how it shows me the preview: https://imgur.com/a/2JFSD
And this is what I get instead. Thinner. Longer. Not ideal.
For mobile, it looks way different and better: https://imgur.com/a/ROTXc
To recap my main problems
- Table protrudes into sidebar and is not really responsive on mobile. I can somewhat fix this within TablePress I believe, but I’ll need help.
- On Mobile/Table the content occupies only 70% of the page, with a lot of padding to the left, right.
- Shortcodes Buttons look very weird on Desktop while looking normal on mobile/tablet.
There’s also a bit of text protruding into the image: https://imgur.com/a/sTyGL
This is really not a good experience I’m having with this theme, and I’m losing money every day because of conversions/site does not work as it is supposed.
If you can help me fix these problems, that would be great. If not, it looks like this theme is not a good fit for amazon niche websites, and I would appreciate a refund.
Thank you very much.

So I’ve done more research into the matter, and I think the problem can be solved by either adjusting some theme settings or/and tablepress settings to make the table columns width/paddings smaller?
In addition to what I asked above, can you help me with one more important thing? The padding left/right on mobile/table is too big. The text occupies only 70% of the screen width-wise. Can we change it to 90% or so?

I really hope I’m not being a difficult customer. I appreciate all the help.
Cheers!
Hello @ShufflehoundSupport
Thank you for the prompt reply. I will try to be brief.
In case you’ve missed my screenshots from above, I will add them again.
Tablepress works perfectly with my previous themes – Genesis and MTS Newspaper
My website is wonderlandgardens.org
Screenshots with my problems – DESKTOP
https://imgur.com/a/lYSiD – Here the tables protrudes into the sidebar
https://imgur.com/a/e7RFa – How it used to look like/how I’d like it to look like – check my other website http://www.interactivetravel.org/best-air-mattress-for-camping/
When the table doesn’t protrude into the sidebar, it still behaves oddly
https://imgur.com/a/7MRmO – That + sign should only be shown for really small screens like mobile. This is not ideal for desktop, as not many people click on that sign. https://imgur.com/a/4PVnk – The “Check Price” should be shown in a separate column, not when I click on +
Again, for the perfect example please check – http://www.interactivetravel.org/best-air-mattress-for-camping/ – This has the same number of columns/text, yet the Check Price columns appear there without any problems.
Not all is bad though. For some articles https://wonderlandgardens.org/best-garden-hose/ – the table works perfectly for Desktop (not for mobile)
HOWEVER for other articles it either shows that annoying collapsible button https://wonderlandgardens.org/best-backpack-leaf-blower/ or protrudes directly into sidebar https://wonderlandgardens.org/best-cordless-leaf-blower/
This is only for desktop
MY BIGGEST PROBLEM IS FOR MOBILE – the table is simply not responsive when/where it used to be. I am not sure how to prove/show this, but on my old themes, (plus the built in functionality of the plugin) I could scroll to the left and see all 6-7 columns of the table. Now I am only stuck seeing 2-3 columns which is not ideal at all. See here https://imgur.com/a/RyCbi
For Desktop: Ideally, what would be great for desktop, is if the theme would use some form of text wrapping (like in Excel/Google Docs) that would wrap the text and adapt to all the columns i.e,. all the columns would appear without problem.
For Mobile: I’d love to be able to scroll the tables again, and maybe make the text appear almost on the entire mobile screen. It looks like there’s some padding 30px left/right screen. I think 13-15 would be enough.
So, what do you think? Could you help me out with this?
I really hope so! Will leave 5 stars or whatever needed. I really love this theme!
Thank you for all the support and understanding guys. I have more niche sites and I’m looking to transfer this theme to all my sites/recommend it to some other fellows in the industry, but the tablepress issue now is a huge bottleneck.
It seems like I can’t edit my initial post, so I will go more in-depth with this problem, as it is a really big issue for me – the conversions so far are affected quite badly.
There are a few problems with my table plugin -TablePress that I didn’t encounter with my previous themes.
- The plugin has a responsive option, but with this theme the scrollable feature doesn’t work for mobile (I could scroll right to see more columns on mobile. Now I can see only 2-3) . Moreover, the collapsible feature makes my content look odd on mobile – add a lot of padding/margin (huge blank space) to the right of the content.
- The table looks very odd even on desktop. If I don’t use the responsive feature, it protrudes into the sidebar. – https://imgur.com/a/lYSiD and even with the responsive features, sometimes it still protrudes. I wish the table would adjust automatically on desktop, without having to use the responsive option of the plugin (this is what worked for my previous themes)
I don’t have an example of a table with the previous theme, but this is another website of mine – https://imgur.com/a/e7RFa – this is how it used to look like (please notice that the number of columns/texts is the same) – Please compare this example with the table on my website, https://imgur.com/a/7MRmO – The table has the same number of columns and even text, and instead of showing the last column (Check Price), it doesn’t. Instead, it has the collapsible feature (because I added it) and this hurt my conversions as people don’t always click on the + sign to see the price https://imgur.com/a/4PVnk
I’ve had a dev friend of mine trying to fix this, but with no avail. I really need help with this one because tables generate more than 60% of my revenue. I really love this theme and I’d feel bad having to revert to my old one.
Really looking forward to hearing from you.
