 * Hello,
 * i am sure this is a stupid question. But i can’t fix this issue on my own …
 * my tables are all working fine BUT i can’t fix their width and so they are going
   through the sidebar and don’t stop in content area. Any CSS i tried failed.
    
   This is my website: [http://castor-plastics.com/rohrgewichte-50-250/](http://castor-plastics.com/rohrgewichte-50-250/)
   I added:
 * #wrapper .tablepress {
    width: 60%; margin: 0 auto 1em; }
 * and some other, but nothing changed. Can you please help me out?

 * Try adding:
 *     ```
       .dataTables_wrapper {
       overflow-x: auto;
       }
       ```
   
 * or
 *     ```
       body .dataTables_wrapper {
       overflow-x: auto;
       }
       ```
