    Hello,

    I just migrated !

    First thing I noticed was the dividers of the tables disappeared.

    The only thing that makes each line stand out is the alternating colors.

    I would like to get the dividers back so it looks like a chart.

    Also I dunno how to change the header font color.

    Using the following page :

    http://tablepress.org/faq/

    I was able to fix the font colors.

    No mention on header color or how to re-enable the dividers.

    Please help, I want to keep things up to date but I may have to remove Table Press.

    Thanx in advance.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble!

    First: Calm down, we can style everything again in the way you want 🙂

    This happened, because TablePress has a fresher default styling than WP-Table Reloaded.

    If you post the link to your table, and describe in detail what you want to change again, I’ll gladly help out with finding the necessary CSS code to achieve that!

    Regards,

    Wow thanx for the lightning fast response.

    Here’s the page that contains my tables :

    http://www.doublesixx.com/bio/

    I would like to change the following to black : Year Film Role Notes
    Well probably black but once you post the code to change the color I’ll work out which color works best.

    Here’s a picture I did really quickly. You may have to copy and paste the link because I turned off hotlinking to my site.

    You’ll see I put black lines I’m calling dividers. I did it randomly so it’s not precise.

    Thanx again.

    Hi,

    sure, no problem! 🙂

    Thanks for the link, and for the image!

    Are you sure that you want these dividers (the technical term is table borders)? In my opinion, the table looks better without. But you decide, of course 🙂

    Please add this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen:

    .tablepress th {
        color: #000000;
    }
    .tablepress,
    .tablepress thead th,
    .tablepress tfoot th,
    .tablepress tbody td {
        border: 1px solid #000000;
    }

    That first command will change the text color for all table head rows to black, while the second block will add the dividers/borders to all cells in all tables.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Big thanx Tobias.

    I know what you mean, maybe black makes it looks ugly. I’ll play with colors later.

    Ultimately I find it’s easier on my eyes when there’s a separation. Well the colors I had made it difficult.

    I think I just prefer sections.

    Excellent plugin !

    Well playing around with the colors, I realized the last of my three tables was missing a border.

    Well the page doesn’t seem to have finished loading. I think it’s the rending issue others are currently expiriencing =(.

    I didn’t think there was much data in my tables to make it render so slowly.

    If I uninstall Table Press the old plugin so work the same right ?

    Hi,

    what table is missing a border? Everything looks ok to me…
    And everything is loading just fine.
    Can you explain where you are having trouble?

    And what other people are experiencing rendering issues? And no, your tables are actually pretty small (at least the three tables on http://www.doublesixx.com/bio/ ).
    (There are people with issues in tables with several thousand rows, so you are still far away from that 🙂 )

    Yes, if you uninstall TablePress and reactivate WP-Table Reloaded, everything will be as before. However, that is not an option! Do not do that! WP-Table Reloaded is dead, and will no longer be developed nor supported! It has been superseded by TablePress!

    The third table. Between Roles and Notes there’s a missing border.

    I repaired/optimized my database to see if the page would speed up.

    Seemed like it was rendering slowly, as if it was waiting to load the last border.

    Here’s a screen shot :

    Hi,

    now, that’s interesting. I can see that border just fine, in Google Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. Nothing is missing.
    Can you test this again in other browsers?

    And technically, the rendering of the borders is totally independent from the loading of the data. A border is just “applied”, and not “loaded”. Therefore, the amount of data does not influence this, no worries 🙂

    Tobias,

    So sorry, as you can tell I don’t know enough about what’s going on, I just saw the render post, skimmed the thread and thought that was my problem too.

    Tested on my TV and it worked fine (Chrome).

    I changed the zoom settings in FireFox and the line appeared.

    Hi,

    no problem!

    And, yes, the zoom settings could definitely have caused this. Firefox sometimes just strips certain “lines”, and in this case it happened to the border between these columns.

    Great to hear that everything is set and working now! 🙂

    Best wishes,
    Tobias
