 * Hi – love the plugin but am struggling with column widths and even having read
   and tried out some of the custom css I still don’t seem to be able to get it 
   to work properly.
 * The table in question is here
    [http://www.steveharley-photography.co.uk/product/template-for-prints/](http://www.steveharley-photography.co.uk/product/template-for-prints/)
 * I would like to make each of the columns a little narrower to fit on the screen
   and the overall table to be a little smaller.
 * Hope this makes sense!

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * In this case, you’ll have to reduce the inner white space (padding) in the cells,
   as that’s set rather big by your theme. Together with the width of the text, 
   this is pretty much the deciding factor for the column width.
    For that, please
   try adding this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of
   TablePress:
 *     ```
       #content .tablepress-id-1 th,
       #content .tablepress-id-1 td {
           padding: 8px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
