# column width CSS not working

 * Column 1 on Table 2 of this page is too narrow (words are being truncated too
   much if device is <900px wide).
 * CSS min-width doesn’t work:
   .tablepress-id-26 .column-1 {min-width: 117px;}
 * Even CSS width doesn’t work:
   .tablepress-id-26 .column-1 {width: 117px;}
 * Even adding &nbsp; to the first cell is ignored.
 * PS Thanks for the awesome free plugin.
 * Latest: WP 6.8.1, Tablepress 3.1.2
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcolumn-width-css-not-working-4%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * FYI Horizontal scrolling is enabled in table features, but all other table features
   are off.

 * Hi!
 * Thanks for your post and sorry for the trouble!
 * Your CSS code is for table 26, but there’s no table 26 embedded on that page?
 * Or could this have the same cause as [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/horizontal-scrolling-enabled-but-not-working/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/horizontal-scrolling-enabled-but-not-working/)?
 * Best wishes,
   Tobias
