 * I have problems with the first column.
    [http://www.classefun.it/wp/?page_id=1952](http://www.classefun.it/wp/?page_id=1952)
   [http://www.classefun.it/wp/?page_id=1975](http://www.classefun.it/wp/?page_id=1975)
 * As you can see at the links above, the fist column is wider, and no way to accept
   the sortcode modifications.
    Any suggestion? Thanks in advance Roberto

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The reason for this is some CSS code in your theme. In the “style.css” file (
   about halfway down), you can find this section:
 *     ```
       .post_content table a{color: #666;font-weight: bold;text-decoration:none;}
       .post_content table a:active,.post_content table a:hover {color: #004B96;text-decoration:none;}
       .post_content table {width:90%;color:#666;font-size:12px;text-shadow: 1px 1px 0px #fff;background:#eaebec;margin:20px;border:#ccc 1px solid;}
       .post_content table caption{font-weight:bold;line-height:35px;}
       .post_content table th {padding: 9px 15px 9px 25px;background: #CF0;font-size: 20px;color: white;text-shadow: none;}
       .post_content table tr{text-align: center;padding-left:20px;}
       .post_content table tr td:first-child{text-align: left;padding-left:20px;border-left: 0;width:30%;}
       .post_content table tr td {padding :6px 15px;border-top: 1px solid #ffffff;border-bottom:1px solid #e0e0e0; background: #FFF;}
       .post_content table tr:last-child td{border-bottom:0;}
       .post_content table tr:hover td{background: #F8F8F8;}
       ```
   
 * Please comment that out, by prepending
 *     ```
       /*
       ```
   
 * before it and by appending
 *     ```
       */
       ```
   
 * after it.
 * You can then also turn off “Horizontal Scrolling” for this table, as it shouldn’t
   be necessary.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
