 * Hi Tobius, I’m having a styling issue after someone deleted my table! I’m trying
   to recreate what we had but can’t seem to move the columns using the css code
   I’m adding in ‘Plugin Options’. The code I’m using is:
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-99 .column-6 {
       	width: 20%;
       }
       ```
   
 * I’ve done this for 6 columns and the %’s add up to 100%. Any ideas?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Setting widths is strongly dependent on the contents of the columns. For example,
   you can not make a column smaller than what the content in it requires.
    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 again,
 * please also note, that the CSS code for the now deleted table should still exist.
   Deleting tables does not remove the CSS that belongs to that table. Maybe you
   can still find and reuse that? It might even be sufficient to change the table
   ID of the newly created table to that of the deleted table (if you still know
   that ID).

    Tobias

 * Thanks Tobias, you can see the issue here: [http://regentclassicorgans.com/past-commissions/](http://regentclassicorgans.com/past-commissions/).
   It did look like this: [https://web.archive.org/web/20150125062751/http://regentclassicorgans.com/past-commissions/](https://web.archive.org/web/20150125062751/http://regentclassicorgans.com/past-commissions/).
   Unfortunately the relevant css also got deleted!

 * Hi,
 * the page from the Wayback machine is actually not showing a table for this. It
   seems like the same feature was achieved in a different way there.
 * Now, from what I can see, your table now has about 45 extra columns that are 
   empty. Those should be deleted, as they influence the styling and layout.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Thanks Tobias, got to the bottom of it – it wasn’t done with tablepress originally!

 * Hi,
 * yes, that’s what I meant. 🙂
 * Best wishes,
