# Would theme be causing this plugin behaviour? (table alignment)

 * I’m using Twenty Fifteen and the following plugin to display Etsy listings on
   my page above:
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/etsy-shop/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/etsy-shop/)
 * It uses tables for the layout rather than divs. The rows with three items are
   fine, but those with only one or two are right-aligning on the page instead of
   left.
 * I asked about this on the plugin forum but have had no response.
 * I can’t see anything in the plugin code that would make the tables sit on the
   right of the page. I’ve tried hacking it to make the tables sit left but it had
   no effect.
 * Just wondering if anyone knows of anything in the Twenty Fifteen theme that would
   cause tables to sit on the right like this?

 * It’s normal for tables to behave like that.

 * Ok…. Any ideas how I could overwrite it? Where the tables only have one or two
   columns, I’d like them to sit left instead of right…

 * If you’re not using a Child Theme, and if the theme doesn’t have a designated
   section of the dashboard for CSS modifications then install this Custom CSS Manager
   plugin [http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin](http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin)
 * Then use its “CSS Code” [section of the dashboard](http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin/screenshot-1.jpg?r=704634)
   to hold your CSS modifications:
 * _Alternatively use your Child Theme style.css file to hold your CSS modifications:_
 *     ```
       td.etsy-shop-listing {
           float: left;
       }
       ```

 * You’re welcome Sarah. Just note that it’s easy to get into overheads like this
   when using tables just for looks 😉 I think people get around that by using column
   plugins, that allow you to achieve the same sort of layout. I may be wrong because
   I’ve never used one, but this looks right [https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-columns/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-columns/)

 * Cheers. 🙂
 * Personally I wouldn’t use tables at all as they’re poor from an accessibility
   perspective. Unfortunately this plugin uses tables for the layout. I did consider
   trying to hack the code to change it to divs for layout but that’s a bit beyond
   my current skills!
