 * Apologies if this is a simple issue, but it’s one that’s been puzzling me all
   day.
 * The table on my page (link to follow) is auto re-sizing to narrower than intended.
   It is in a full-width container and on first load of the page, the table is the
   intended full width. But, after a second or so, it resizes itself to narrower.
   What am I doing wrong? I want it to remain the full width. I also want to keep
   the horizontal scrolling active for mobile devices if at all possible.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Yeah, this issue has unfortunately appeared with the latest version of the DataTables
   JS library. I hope that I will be fixed in the next release.
 * Fortunately, there’s an easy work around: Please uncheck the “Horizontal Scrolling”
   checkbox on the table’s “Edit” screen and instead use the scroll mode of the 
   TablePress Extension from [https://tablepress.org/extensions/responsive-tables/](https://tablepress.org/extensions/responsive-tables/)
   
   That uses the same technical mechanism and should be a good replacement.
 * (Actually, as “Horizontal Scrolling” seems to be the only checkbox that you have
   checked there, please uncheck “Use DataTables” instead.)
 * Regards,
    Tobias
