 * Hi,
 * I have tried to imported a .csv file into Tablepress. Everything went well but
   the second half part of data disappeared after 7th or 8th column.
 * I looked into the datatable javascript lib feature and found that it can achieve‘
   Enable horizontal scrolling, to make viewing tables with many columns easier.’
   and some other sorting options. I ticked them all but none worked. Please help!

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The reason why this “Horizontal Scrolling” is not working is that the entire 
   DataTables JS library was not initialized by your browser.
    The reason for this
   seems to be a JS scripting error that I can see in the browser console. It appears
   that that’s triggered in the WooCommerce plugin. Can you try again after temporarily
   deactivating that plugin?
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Thx a lot. I have tried to deactivated Woo Commerce and the table works well 
   now with JS lib features. Just wondering how can I change the width of a specific
   column and how can I wider the whole table size since it appears that my table
   only take 3/4 of the page and I want it to be something like 90%.

 * Hi,
 * good to hear that this helped!
 * About the width of the table: The table is taking up 100% of the space that the
   theme gives to it here. Most likely, the remaining space on the right side is
   intended to be used for a sidebar. So, either your theme has a Page Template 
   for “Full width”, or you’ll need to add one. For that, you should then contact
   the theme developer for help.

 * Thx a lot.
 * Just one last question, how can I change the background color of the tile row
   and the font color in css since the default setting appears to be unclear on 
   my site.
 * My table id is ‘1’, shall I start with:
 * .tablepress-id-1 {
 * …
    }

 * Hi,
 * for the table head row background color, please see the TablePress FAQ at [http://tablepress.org/faq/change-background-color-table-head-row/](http://tablepress.org/faq/change-background-color-table-head-row/)
 * To then also change the font color, you would add
 *     ```
       color: #000000;
       ```
   
 * to that code.
    And, yes, as your table ID is one, all CSS code for this table
   has to start with `.tablepress-id-1`
