 * Hi,
 * First of all thank you for this very useful plugin !
 * I have a problem with the column width. I tried what you explain in the FAQ but
   it seems to have no effect on my table.
 * Hereunder please find the code that I use :
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-4 .column-1 {
       	width: 230px !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * and here is the page related : [http://www.salon-baticentre.be/exposants/](http://www.salon-baticentre.be/exposants/)
 * Could you help me and explain me why that doesn’t work ?
 * Regards,
    Nicolas

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The reason for this is that the table is already stretched out the available 
   content area that is given to it by the theme.
    To change the columns, you will
   therefore have to give the entire table more room, and the best way to do that
   would be to remove the sidebar (which is empty anyways) on the right side of 
   the table. For that, please check if you can change the “Page Template” of the
   that page to something like “Full-width”, where there is no sidebar on the right.
   That way, the table has more room and can extend fully.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Well thank you for your quick answer !
