 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * This is caused by your theme which uses rather weird CSS code to achieve margins
   around the page elements. The best way that I see to make the table fit here 
   would be to use e.g. this “Custom CSS” on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:
 *     ```
       .tablepress {
         width: auto;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
