 * Great plugin — I use it all the time. And sorry for the basic css question.
 * This table is two columns, and I would like them to both be the minimal width
   and left justified. I want my table to look like this (click on the Shipping 
   Information Tab):
 * [http://www.ilfornodelnonno.com/shop/famiglia-80/](http://www.ilfornodelnonno.com/shop/famiglia-80/)
 * But I am getting this, with the second column automatically wider to fill the
   width of the table (click on the the Specifications Tab):
 * [http://www.ilfornodelnonno.com/shop/famiglia-80/](http://www.ilfornodelnonno.com/shop/famiglia-80/)
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * For that, please try this “Custom CSS”:
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-1 {
       	width: auto;
       }
       ```
   
 * Additionally, please remove the `max-width` declaration from your other “Custom
   CSS” for the cells of that table.
 * This basically tells the table to not stretch to 100% of the content area, but
   to just use the column widths.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * I tried to use this thread to answer my question, but unfortunately I still cannot
   figure out my issue.
 * Is there a way to lock column widths?

 * Hi Austin,
 * thanks for your post!
 * Can you maybe provide more details? What exactly are you trying to achieve? Can
   you please post a link to the page with the table where your problem is visible,
   so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!

    Tobias

 * Right now all the text is the same, but when I change text within the table it
   stretches and makes column width more than the others. I just want to lock each
   column width.
 * Also, I need to center the text with in the columns.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for the link. For that, you can then use this “Custom CSS” on the “Plugin
   Options” screen of TablePress:
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-1 td {
         width: 33%;
         text-align: center;
       }
       ```
