 * I am seeing a problem with the tables that is getting created using the tablepress
   plugin. The first column in the table is getting alloted with a huge width. Below
   is a link to a test page on my website where i just kept a sample table.

 * I struggled with few custom css options but didnot work.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The cause for this is a CSS conflict in your theme. It’s basically using the 
   same CSS classes as TablePress. To fix this, please use this as your “Custom 
   CSS” in TablePress:
 *     ```
       .tablepress th,
       .tablepress td {
       	width: auto;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
