 * Please see second table on page [https://murraywiltonministries.org/wp/messages/](https://murraywiltonministries.org/wp/messages/).
   How can I move the second column to the left?
 * Using this:
 * .tablepress th,
    .tablepress td { padding: 6px !important; }
 * #content .tablepress {
    width: 50% !important; margin: 0 auto 1em !important;}

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * This seems to be caused by some other CSS that you have in your Custom CSS:
 *     ```
       #table, td { /* tables still need 'cellspacing="0"' in the markup */
       	border-collapse: collapse;
       	border-spacing: 0;
       	margin: 0 0 1.5em;
       	width: 100%;
           border: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * This block is basically instructing the browser to make all cells 100% wide, 
   which of course won’t work.
    Can you therefore please remove this block of CSS?
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hello Tobias
 * I have the same issue i want to reduce the gap between the first and second colomn.
   But i am also trying to make it responsive for mobiles, I have coded the page
   to be responsive but the table is not responsive, see here [http://17oxen.com/best-external-hard-drives](http://17oxen.com/best-external-hard-drives)
   how can i make the table mobile friendly too.

 * Hi gadetricks,
 * please try adding this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen
   of TablePress:
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-3 {
         width: auto;
       }
       ```
   
 * This will reduce the space between the columns.
 * For some ideas on responsiveness, please see [https://tablepress.org/extensions/responsive-tables/](https://tablepress.org/extensions/responsive-tables/)
 * Regards,
    Tobias
