 * I am using the Gommero theme.
    My table has 3 columns into which I am inserting
   images 300 wide. The third column images are cut off. Is there anything that 
   I can do about this or do I have to make the images narrower? I have the same
   table with same width images on another website with a different theme and have
   not issues [https://www.dropbox.com/s/s92g5mvdllurvvs/6-21-17%20table%20problem.JPG?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/s92g5mvdllurvvs/6-21-17%20table%20problem.JPG?dl=0)
 * This happened a few years back and you gave me a small piece of code to fix it
   but it was for a different theme and site. Can you please do that again?
 * Thank you

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * You could try to instruct the browser to shrink the images so that they fit:
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-123 img {
         max-width: 100%;
       }
       ```

 * I pasted the code as shown below but unfortunately it made no difference. I also
   checked it on a different browser.

 * Unfortunately that did not work either. I checked on 2 other browsers

 * Hi,
 * ah, these images also have a caption, right? This means that there’s another 
   container around them (created by WordPress and your theme), which has a fixed
   width.
    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!

 * Here is the page with the problem table: [https://moneysavinghomesstore.com/store/](https://moneysavinghomesstore.com/store/)
 * Here is and example of what I paste into each cell:

 * Here is an example of where I use your plugin and include the captions without
   any problems. Different theme though:

 * Hi,
 * thanks for the link and the used Shortcode!
 * Please also add this “Custom CSS”:
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-1 .wp-caption {
           max-width: 100%;
           width: auto!important;
       }
       ```
   
 * The table will now appear to not fill the page. This is a result of how your 
   theme works. You might be able to change that by choosing a “Full width” or “
   No sidebar” page template on the “Edit” screen of that page.

 * OK, that has fixed the cut off 3rd column. Now I have to see if I can get the
   theme to fill the page as it does not now.
 * If I cant get it to fill the page, then I will change the theme but must first
   remove both pieces of CSS code. Right?
 * Thank you for your support.

 * Hi,
 * yes, getting the full width to work would be the best, also for all the other
   pages on the site.
 * If you decide to switch themes, you can try without the code there, first. If
   it also overlaps/cuts off, just add it again.
