    I have tried very hard to adjust the width of my columns and centre the table on my first attempt at a TablePress Table as below but always the table shows on the left hand side of the page.

    This code in the Additional CSS

    .tablepress-id-1 .column-1,
    .tablepress-id-1 .column-2,
    .tablepress-id-1 .column-3,
    .tablepress-id-1 .column-4 {
    width: 100px;
    }

    .tablepress-id-1 thead th {
    font-family: Tahoma;
    font-size: 14px;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: #005580;
    }

    .tablepress-id-1 tbody td {
    font-family: Tahoma;
    font-size: 14px;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: #1a1a1a;
    }

    .tablepress-id-1 {
    width: auto;
    margin: 0 auto 1em;
    }

    Still working away and enjoying using TablePress and I have discovered that if I untick the use Data Tables I can get the table to centre nicely.

    As I want to use the Data Tables features (which are excellent) how then can I get my table centred as 500 px in width.

    Any help appreciated but finding the features great.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!

    Regards,

    Getting closer by looking at previous posts.

    I think the search box is stopping me centring but cannot find a way to get the search box on the same line as the filter boxes but will keep trying.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    thanks for the link!

    You are actually suffering from a bug here. Normally, the table stretches to 100% of the widths. To achieve that, please add this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:

    .dataTables_wrapper .tablepress {
  width: 100% !important;
}

    If you then still want to reduce the width and center it on the page, you can also add

    #tablepress-1_wrapper {
  width: 400px;
  margin: 0 auto 1em;
}

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Many thanks Tobias and really like the layout of the tables and once I understand more about css I will enjoy it even more.
