 * Greetings!
 * I’ve been trying to figure out why the first column in my table is not formatting
   properly. I believe it to be a theme related issue but am unsure.
 * Any help would be much appreciated

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Can you please explain what “is not formatting properly” means for you here? 
   From what I can see, the first column of that table is 25% wide and centered,
   just as you set in your “Custom CSS”.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * I had to do that to make it look half way decent. If you have a look at it now
   you’ll see what I mean.

 * Hi,
 * ah, I see now. Thanks for the explanation!
 * This is indeed caused by your theme, which happens to use the same CSS classes
   for some of its elements. To fix this, please add this to the “Custom CSS” textarea
   on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:
 *     ```
       .tablepress td,
       .tablepress th {
         width: auto;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
