 * Hi Tobias, thank you so much for your plugin. I had been using WP Tables but 
   unfortunately it is not supported anymore, so I decided to use Table Press and
   I’m gladly satisfied 🙂
 * What happens is that I fixed the first column with the extension and it overlaps
   over the other ones.
    I first tried to put there another background color in 
   order not to see what there is below but it didn’t work (actually, I don’t know
   why the CSS coding doesn’t work in my page), and then I looked at this forum 
   and I found this code that does not seem to work either:
 * .entry-content .tablepress {
    table-layout: auto; }
 * Do you have any idea how to solve it? This is the website:

 * Thank you so much!
 * Best regards,

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Here, we’ll just have to add a background color to the table cells. For that,
   please add this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of
   TablePress:
 *     ```
       .tablepress td,
       .tablepress th {
           background-color: #ffffff;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
