 * Hello!
 * My Template seems to overrule alignment settings. All tables are aligned to Center.
   
   example: [link](http://pgs-mettingen.de/testtabelle/)
 * I tried the following css:
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-5 .column-2 {
       	text-align: left !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Do you have an idea?!

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Indeed your theme is using rather aggressive CSS code to align the cells in the
   center.
    Please try this to override this:
 *     ```
       #tablepress-5 .column-2 {
       	text-align: left !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Note how the code uses an HTML-ID-based selector, which has a higher priority
   than the class-based selectors.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
