# Fitting table when width is responsive

 * The table on this page looks fine on a phone – which is important in 2020 – but
   on a larger screen it is offset to the left. Everything I’ve tried to do with
   the css in the panel in the plug-in options tab is overridden by my theme’s responsive
   CSS.
 * Has anyone encountered this problem and, how did you overcome it?
 * I’m confident enough with everyday CSS, but struggle with complex responsive 
   CSS set-ups.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ffitting-table-when-width-is-responsive%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * There’s indeed some rather odd CSS for table in your theme. To override that,
   please add this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of
   TablePress:
 *     ```
       @media screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
         .entry-content > table {
           display: table;
         }
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Thanks Tobias
 * Like I said, CSS is easy, until you have to deal with responsive screens
