Unfortunately, browsers are very sensitive with respect to changing column widths in this case. * You could maybe try to raise the priority of your commands, by appending the `! important` flag, like * ``` .tablepress-id-1 .column-2 { width: 300px !important; } ``` * Additionally, it might be an option to change the view mode with * ``` .tablepress-id-1 { table-layout: fixed; } ``` * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [cosmophonic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cosmophonic/) * (@cosmophonic) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tablepress-column-width-didtn-work/#post-7444936) * Hi * thanks for your help, it works, but not very good. * I used this Code: but the text in the first row is not in the middle. * > .tablepress-id-1 tbody td, > .tablepress-id-1 tbody th { text-align: center;} * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tablepress-column-width-didtn-work/#post-7444939) * Hi, * this is likely caused by the Horizontal Scrolling, which isn’t always working that nicely. Please try deactivating the “Horizontal Scrolling” checkbox on the table’s “Edit” screen and use the `scroll` mode of the Responsive Tables Extension from [https://tablepress.org/extensions/responsive-tables/](https://tablepress.org/extensions/responsive-tables/) instead. * Regards, Tobias * [fluefiskeavs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fluefiskeavs/) * (@fluefiskeavs) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tablepress-column-width-didtn-work/#post-8209874) * Hello Tobias, * I am getting tyred, trying now for two days to fix my column with issue, I would like the column’s have the same with.

I am using Tablepress together with RPB Chessboard. The last column in the table is reserved for the chessboard. The problem I have is depicted by the following picture: ⌊Tablepress problem 1⌉ You see how the last column is not aligned with the board. Now, I have tried adjusting the size of the board, and also the width of the column, but nothing happened. It is strange, because in another table I also use, the situation is following: ⌊All right⌉ * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tablepress-column-width-didtn-work/#post-8884199) * Hi mistreaver, * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble. * Actually, both tables are not fitting.

Also, it seems that you are using a plugin to cache minified and concatenated CSS code.
