    I’ve been following the instructions in the FAQ and documentation for adjusting the column width of the table, but nothing I do has any effect. The documentation also says that I can should “bAutoWidth”: false to the DataTables Javascript features, but that section is entirely grayed out and I cannot add this even though I have this item selected in plug-in options: Yes, enable the use of a JavaScript library.

    I am at my wit’s end over such a simple thing, but no amount of CSS’ing has made an ounce of difference. The site is http://www.mauitvnews.com and it is the Special Reports area of the home page that is exhibiting the problem.

    Thanks for your help!

    I deselected the default CSS option for the plug-in and that seems to have eliminated the problem. However, it would be nice to know how it was supposed to work. Thanks 🙂

    Hi,

    the bAutoWidth can only be used on tables that also use the DataTables JS library. The checkbox that you mention just enables if for use. You still would have to make it be used for the table directly (with another checkbox). This however was not possible for your table, because you did not have “Table Head” row enabled (which does not make sense for your table).
    Yeah, this sounds complicated, but on regular tables, with data, this is not that relevant.

    Now, for the width: Your theme also seems to contain CSS code for WP-Table Reloaded, which influences the width.
    So, all in all, you simply have many different sources for the styling here, and that makes it a little bit complicated.

    For the future, just paste the CSS code into the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen and it should hopefully work.

    Regards,
    Tobias
