 * How do I change the column width of the table to fit the template width? I tried
   to manually adjust inside of tablepress with no luck? I am trying to make the
   fields narrow or smaller.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question.
 * Changing column widths is possible with some CSS code that you can find in the
   answer to the question “How can I set column widths?” in the TablePress FAQ at
   [http://tablepress.org/faq/](http://tablepress.org/faq/)
    If that does not help,
   please post a link to the page with your table, so that I can take a direct look.
   Thanks!

 * Hi Tobias,
    Please I needed some guide, I wanted to format my table column as
   follows:
 * 1. EXTRA SPACE BETWEEN TABLE COLUMNS: I wanted to add some extra space in between
   each column as they appear to be too close to each other and I don’t know how
   to manipulate the custom css given in the FAQ, I am just a lover of WordPress
   and not a CSS guru nor coder, I tried it but it didn’t give the kind of result
   I expected.
 * 2. COLORING SOME COLUMNS:
    Also, I wanted following columns to have color coded(
   different color). However the color coding will not start/affect the table header.–
   Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.
 * Here is the url to the page – [http://www.lightofchristassembly.org/bible-yearly-planner/](http://www.lightofchristassembly.org/bible-yearly-planner/)
 * Thank you for your help.

 * Hi Akinyemi,
 * thanks for your post.
 * 1. I think, this will look fine, if you just remove the empty columns on the 
   right side of the table, as they also take away space. Just click the checkboxes
   below the empty columns and click the “Selected columns: Delete” button.
 * 2. Here’s an example on how to change the background color of an entire column:
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-1 .column-3 {
           background-color: #ff0000 !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Does that help?
 * Regards,
    Tobias
