 * Hello,
 * i can’t change the td table width.
    This css should work fine:
 * .wp-table-reloaded-id-4 .column-1 {
    width:200px; }
 * i also try to use the DataTables-JavaScript-Parameter field using: “bAutoWidth”:
   false
    – but nothing happens,
 * any ideas?
 * Thanks!

 * 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.

 * 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.

    Tobias

 * 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](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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.

    Tobias
