I'm trying to enable wordwrap but for some reason on some tables it does not show? See in the image there is no option to force table to one page, with the option to wordwrap. Please help.
Yes - if you have the "Scrollable"/the horizontal scroll enabled,
then the Word Wrap will not be available in combination with that option.
If you enable Limit Table Width, the Scrollable slider will be hidden from view. The same logic applies in reverse fashion (if Scrollable is enabled, you won’t see Limit Table Width).
Also, Word Wrap function appears, and can be enabled when Limit Table Width slider is enabled.
I am sure there is a justification for implementing the word wrap this way, but I would really need to wrap columns while maintaining the horizontal scrollbar (huge table). How could I do that?
Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologize for the delayed response as we have been experiencing an unusually high number of tickets. I am sorry that it has taken longer than usual to respond to your concern and your patience is highly appreciated.
Sorry to disappoint you, but there is no current built-in way or a workaround which can solve the issue of word wrap combined with our horizontal scroll (scrollable) option without having the table looking very ugly/unusable.
You can try using custom CSS to force word wrap while having the horizontal scroll, but at the moment, we do not have a valid solution to make it work, sadly.
We did have several users request this solution, so it is planned, but I can't say an ETA on it.
If you wish to affect the development speed of this 'combination' of options;
to see if someone may be already suggested this feature. If you can't see it, feel free to add your suggestion there, and as more people vote, the feature will move higher on the priority list.
You can certainly follow our changeLog page if you'd like ( it is also available in the plugin dashboard), where we state any changes/new features/bug fixes during updates;
and our newsletter, so you're informed about new features, bug fixes, freebies, etc.

Hi Chris,

You can see more about this on this Documentation.
Let me know if that helps.
Thank you.
