 * I am a newbie and I have tried to follow the documentation but I have not been
   able to adjust the column widths on the table on this page. I would be grateful
   if you could help me. Thanks. Here is the link [.](http://www.ebookreaderguide.com/further-information/)

 * Hi,
 * after looking at your page, I saw that you placed the CSS in the post, which 
   is wrong. You need to put it in the “Custom CSS” textfield on the “Plugin Options”
   screen of WP-Table Reloaded.
 * You will also need to add a line to the “Custom commands” textfield on the “Edit”
   screen of the table, as outlined in the FAQ for the plugin on its website.
 * But even more important: Even if you can manage to get the column widths to work,
   you will probably not get nice results, because you are just trying to squeeze
   to much information into the table, i.e. the table has too many columns to fit
   nicely on the page.
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias

 * Hi Tobias,
 * I am also having difficulty with column widths
 * The issue is column B appears below comumn A.
    All other comumns appear next 
   to each other.
 * Table page
    [http://www.halvorsenclub.com.au/?page_id=10](http://www.halvorsenclub.com.au/?page_id=10)
 * I have tried various combinations of below plus width in px
    .wp-table-reloaded.
   column-1 {width:50%;} .wp-table-reloaded .column-2 {width:15%;} .wp-table-reloaded.
   column-3 {width:15%;} .wp-table-reloaded .column-4 {width:20%;}
 * Any help is greatly appreciated.
 * Thanks,

 * Hi,
 * the problem you experience is caused by your theme’s CSS. It contains some CSS
   code that will add commands to the first and second column, because they share
   the same class with some other container in your theme’s HTML.
 * To fix it, please try adding this code to the “Custom CSS”:
 *     ```
       .wp-table-reloaded .column-1 {width:auto; float:none!important; margin-right:0!important;}
       .wp-table-reloaded .column-2 {width:auto; float:none!important;}
       ```
   
 * This should make your table look ok in the first place, and from there you should
   be able to start playing with the column widths.
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias
