 * I can’t change the width of the columns. This worked at the beginning then with
   the creation of a 3rd table the columns became narrow and non-editable. Anyone
   have an idea how to do this? Here is the code I put
 * .tablepress-id-1 .column-2,
   .tablepress-id-2 .column-2 {color: #FFFFFF;width:
   200px;background-color: #0c3a44;text-align: end;}.tablepress-id-1 .column-3,.
   tablepress-id-2 .column-3 {color: #0c3a44;width: 200px;background-color: #FFFFFF;
   text-align: end;}.tablepress-id-3 .column-2,.tablepress-id-3 .column-3 {color:#
   FFFFFF;width: 200px;background-color: #0c3a44;text-align: end;}

 * Hi!
 * Thanks for your post and sorry for the trouble!
 * The cause for these problems is the CSS code block
 *     ```wp-block-code
       .tablepress {
       	width: 120px;
       	text-align: start;
       }
       ```
   
 * that I can see in your “Custom CSS”. This is setting a total table width of 120px
   for ALL TablePress tables on your site. This then takes precedence over the individual
   column widths.
 * I therefore recommend to remove this block of CSS code from your “Custom CSS”.
 * Regards,
   Tobias
