 * Hello ~ my tablepress is working just fine, but I’m trying to learn more about
   it.
 * I’ve read the documentation, FAQ. But I need more ….
 * My issue is – the table is spreading out to fill the page horizontally.
    I have.
   id-1 { width: 500px; padding: 4px; }
 * And this is not changing how the table loads on the page, it looks just the same
   as if I added no css.
 * Your instruction is greatly appreciated ~

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The full CSS would be
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-1 {
         width: 500px;
       }
       ```
   
 * I’m not sure why you left out the `tablepress-` part.
 * If that doesn’t work, can you please post a link to the page with the table where
   this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi Tobias,
 * Well that worked, but…. I thought (after reading the FAQ) that using the .tablepress
   part makes the CSS work globally…. I only was the CSS to work for this table 
   so I left the tablepress part out.
 * Aslo, I am going to want to CSS the individual text in columns/cells and I’m 
   guessing I’m going to have to do that globally too?
 * Thanks ~ I hate to bother you about this, I wish the CSS for the tableplress 
   was explained outside of the individual questions. Like an example giving for
   table specific CSS, Cell specific, etc.
 * Thank you for your help, I will be donating 🙂

 * It is possible – lol

 * Hi,
 * for more details on these selectors, please also see [https://tablepress.org/faq/documentation-css-selectors-styling/](https://tablepress.org/faq/documentation-css-selectors-styling/)
   
   This explains a bit what each table/row/cell gets as available CSS classes.
 * About the global thing:
    Indeed, if your CSS code starts with
 *     ```
       .tablepress ... {
       ```
   
 * that will be applied to all tables.
    If you just want something to apply to an
   individual table, the CSS has to start like
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-123 ... {
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
