 * Have tried all of the solutions that were suggested in the FAQ, Documentation
   and the Community Forum.
 * I want the changes to take effect for all of the tables I’ll be placing in my
   website, but this link is an example of what I’m trying to alter:
    [http://nearsightedstudios.com/grrc/?page_id=540](http://nearsightedstudios.com/grrc/?page_id=540)
 * .tablepress .column-1 {
    width: 25px; } .tablepress .column-2 { width: 150px;}.
   tablepress .column-3 { width: 50px; } .tablepress .column-4 { width: 50px; } .
   tablepress .column-5 { width: 25px; } .tablepress .column-6 { width: 150px; }.
   tablepress .column-7 { width: 50px; }
 * Could you tell me what I’m doing improperly? Thank you!

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Your theme is adding a very big padding to the table cells, so I suggest that
   you remove that, by adding this “Custom CSS”:
 *     ```
       .entry .tablepress td {
           padding: 8px;
       }
       ```
   
 * You might not even have to set column widths then.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
