 * Hi Tobias,
   Not an issue with the plugin itself. More a formatting in WP Admin
   under “Table Content”.I have your plugin setup as I want it for a client both
   front and back, but to keep things “stupid” proof, I am struggling to keep the
   table cells (in the back end) to stay at their custom width.I have shared a few
   screenshot to give you an example.
 * Original layout: [https://ibb.co/brR3vjM](https://ibb.co/brR3vjM)
   Stretched layout(
   ideal for client) [https://ibb.co/dP8cjLP](https://ibb.co/dP8cjLP)Is this something
   I can change with CSS, or is there a setting I am missing. If I save the table
   the custom layout doesn’t change, but if I move away from the page and come back
   it resets.Any help is much appreciated.Thanks

 * Edit:
   I have just seen this option under ‘Screen Options’ when viewing the table.
   Please ignore my issue.Works as expected and should be good enough for the client.
   Sorry for any confusion.

 * Hi!
 * Thanks for your post and sorry for the trouble!
 * Nice find! Indeed, your best chance here is to increase the default value for
   the column widths in the “Screen Options”. Note that this is a per-user setting,
   so it should be made in/from the WordPress user account that the client will 
   be using.
 * Modifying column widths on the “Edit” screen by dragging them wider or more narrow
   is indeed only temporary for that particular editing session.
 * Best wishes,
   Tobias
