Hi,
thanks for your question.
Can you please post the URL to the page with your table? Otherwise I won’t be able to find out why this is not working as expected.

yes i can: alturl.com/tf7zf
Hi,
thanks for the link.
So, you are trying to increase the width of the first column. The problem here is, that there’s simply no room left for the table to increase that column. The reason is that the other columns also need space. The fourth column needs at least the width of the images, and for columns two and three it is the length of the text in the head row.
If you want to increase the width in column one, you will need to give the entire table more space first. This will require a change in the theme first, as currently the available space for a post/page does not correspond to the width of the orange background. You can see this nicely when looking at the white line below “Ausstellerverzeichnis”. It also does not span the entire width, and as a result this is the same for the table.

thanks i missed the width of the table wrapper. it works with:
.dataTables_wrapper {
clear: both;
position: relative;
width: 554px;
}
thank you so much tobias!
on more question: i would like to use the @import rule in wp table reloaded backend in the “additonal CSS field” and than rather use the theme css for the tables styles. Is this possible?
Hi,
ah, indeed, nice solution! Due to the position: relative; this is possible and indeed an elegant way!
And yes, using @import rules in the “Custom CSS” textarea is no problem.
Just make sure to use absolute URLs of the CSS files, so that this works on all pages of the site.
