   changes reflect in the preview, but once I refer to the page after saving, the
   changes are not applied i find the default column widths. kindly help me here.

 * Hi!
 * Thanks for your post and sorry for the trouble!
 * Dragging the columns wider/shorter on the “Edit” screen is only temporary, for
   the view on the “Edit” screen. To change the column widths for the table on the
   frontend, you would need use “Custom CSS” code, like that from [https://tablepress.org/faq/column-widths/](https://tablepress.org/faq/column-widths/)

 * Hi
 * Thanks for your response
 * I tried adding the CSS but its not reflecting
   Please check the page: [https://humgrow.com/hiring-calendar-2/](https://humgrow.com/hiring-calendar-2/)
   considering that this CSS is already added
 * .tablepress-id-2 .column-2,
   .tablepress-id-2 .column-4,.tablepress-id-2 .column-
   7 {width: 450px;}

 * Hi,
 * it appears that you are looking to increase the width of columns in a table that
   is already wide than the available content area and therefore uses horizontal
   scrolling. For technical reasons, you would need slightly extended CSS code then:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       .tablepress-id-2 .column-2,.tablepress-id-2 .column-4,.tablepress-id-2 .column-7 {  width: 450px;  min-width: 450px;}
       ```
   
 * Best wishes,
   Tobias

 * Hi,
 * good to hear that this helped!
 * Freezing the Table Head Row is possible with the [Fixed Rows and Columns feature module](https://tablepress.org/modules/datatables-fixedheader-fixedcolumns/)
   that is part of the [TablePress Premium license plans](https://tablepress.org/pricing/).
 * Best wishes,
   Tobias
