 * Hi,
 * I’ve created a new table and want to set fixed width. But after adding the CSS
   code which is shown as below, the table still displays wrongly. [http://www.indulwich.com/careers/living-in/living-seoul/](http://www.indulwich.com/careers/living-in/living-seoul/)
   Could you please help me to solve it？
 * Thanks.

       .tablepress-id-7 .column-2 {
       	width: 172px;
       }
   
       .tablepress-id-7 .column-2 {
       	padding: 3px;
       }
       ```

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The problem here is the long URL in row 4, column 4. That is forcing a larger
   width on the fourth column, because the browser can not add word-wrapping. I 
   suggest to make this a clickable link with a short link text, or add some spaces
   in the URL, so that the browser can word-wrap it.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
