Erwin DrieverParticipantHello,
Not sure if this is something that will need to be a feature request or if there is a way to do this, but when I try to format a line in bold, the whole cell is bolded or if I would like to assign a certain colour to a word, the whole cell turns into that colour.
We found your plugin was very helpful for the regular end-user that doesn’t know html/css and mimics excel fairly well but it would be nice to have this feature as there is sometimes a word that need to be highlighted or a sentence that needs to be italic (or different from the rest of the cell content).
ie:
This is a sentence and I would like to make sure this word is highlighted. This sentence needs to be italic as it might be a disclaimer of some sort.
If I am to try this and say make “this word” bold, it does the following:
This is a sentence and I would like to make sure this word is highlighted. This sentence needs to be italic as it might be a disclaimer of some sort.
Let me know if that makes sense?
Thanks!

AnonymousInactiveHello cober!
If you want to make bold some words in sentence, you need to put THESE words only among two html tags orStrong will add the importance of this text, and b just make it bold. So it should look like
<em>This is a sentence and I would like to make sure</em> <b>this word</b> <em>is highlighted</em>
and on frontend will be like this

Erwin DrieverParticipantHi Anna,
Thanks for the response, is there a way through the WYSIWYG editor? For me it doesn’t matter, but for a client that might not have the know how to put in code for links/text formatting etc.

AnonymousInactiveHello cober,
There is a question – where do you have this editor? How do you want to use it? Just because we have our editor in tables.
The stuff is that when you click bold in WYSIWYG editor and copy this material to the table – it will not save your format. You need to switch to the text tab and copy the text with html <strong> </strong> or <em> </em>. And only in this case, it will be bold. It is the principle of working of all editors (including WYSIWYG)
Do you understand?July 26, 2016 at 20:52 #10122
Erwin DrieverParticipantHi Anna,
I do understand what you are saying. This option is through many WYSIWYG editors, take a look at WordPress default editor (
http://cdn2.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/wp-font-size.png), when you highlight a word and press the “bold” button, it makes the word bold, making it easier for a non-developer to make something bold. Currently when you highlight a word and press the bold button in your existing WYSIWYG editor in the Table Editor (https://supsystic.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Create-link-in-WordPress-Data-Tables.png), it makes the whole cell bold.I can train my customer to add these tags, although it would be a nice feature for non-developer users when they try to bold/italicize word(s) in the cell without having to manually add html. The same goes for any other items like colours, links etc.
For this specific site, there is more then one word in the cell and may be a paragraph or pricing.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

AnonymousInactiveHi cober,
I also understand you. But first of all I can’t clearly understand, why for making the word bold – you use linking button? you marked it on the screenshot.
Secondly, on our test sites we can mark the one word bold in the editor. So you maybe can provide the page with this problem and we will look what’s going on?July 27, 2016 at 22:48 #10219
Erwin DrieverParticipantHi Anna,
That screenshot was from your supsystic tutorial, I was trying to display the WYSIWYG editor found in this plugin vs another because you asked where this editor was.
Hello cober,
There is a question – where do you have this editor? How do you want to use it?From what you are saying it sounds like there may be something wrong on my end. How would I get you the details to the site privately? I am also having issues right clicking and deleting multiple rows or columns through the menu (when you highlight rows/columns and right click) too. It may be all related.
Thanks!

Erwin DrieverParticipantHi Anna,
Since finding out that this is something that should be working, I’ve done some troubleshooting on my end and found that I am finding this issue across browsers on both Mac and PC. I have the latest version, WordPress 4.5.3 and have tried it on a different WordPress install and found it did the same thing. It did work correctly when I manually added html around the word.
Here is an example: I just want to highlight this one word: screenshot 1
But when pressing the “bold” button in your WYSIWYG editor, the whole cell goes bold: screenshot 2
This is the button I am pressing: bold buttonDeleting Multiple Rows/Columns Issue:
I found that Chrome (Version 51.0.2704.103 – 64-bit) on Mac (El Capitan 10.11.5) does not allow you to delete multiple rows or columns by selecting and right clicking (when you right click it deselects everything and only allows you to remove one at a time). I found that this does not happen in Firefox and it seems to allow you to do that.Let me know if that makes sense
Thanks!

AnonymousInactiveHello cober,
I just sent your issue t our developers department and unfortunately they replied that you are right. In our editor you can make bold only the whole text. not one word.
We will make such a new function in one of the next updation. But not in the nearest one. I will inform you about it.July 28, 2016 at 16:31 #10247
Erwin DrieverParticipantHi Anna,
Thank you for looking into this. I am glad to hear that this is something you are considering to add as a feature request!
