 * Hi. I am struggling to make a table viewable on both pc and phone. The table 
   has 12 columns and strecthes beyond the size of the phone so I thought it was
   a good idea to try the Responsive Table addin. However, on the phone it is scrambled
   and not usable. I have tried to set fixed columns widths, tried to tick the Horizontal
   scrolling for the table. All together with [table id=1 responsive=collapse] and
   scroll. Only flip works as expected.
 * The link now points to the table where the table do not have fixed columns widths
   or horizontal scrolling. Only [table id=1 responsive=scroll].
 * Cheers.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * To hopefully fix these issues (caused by some theme CSS) please add this to the“
   Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:
 *     ```
       .tablepress {
         table-layout: auto;
         word-break: normal;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
