Table Header Row Color Not Changing

    Hi Tobias, great table setup and exactly what I was looking for. I put in the custom CSS to change the Table Header Row background color:

    .tablepress thead th,
    .tablepress tfoot th {
    background-color: #6abe2b;
    }

    But all the cells are white, with a white text font color which is what I do want. Here’s the web table.

    The custom CSS for the sorting background color does work, using the same bg color – #6abe2b;.

    I also installed the floating header plugin, which does appear (a little bit, since I have just a couple rows filled out) when I scroll the page down – and here the cell background color does appear correctly, as does the hover sorting bg color as before.

    What is preventing the bg color – #6abe2b; – from showing?

    And is their a CSS snippet to make the cell height thinner?

    Again, great job with this and thanks for your time.

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    The reason for this is that your theme sets background colors for table header rows with a higher priority. You will therefore have to use slightly extended CSS code:

    .tablepress thead th,
.tablepress tfoot th {
  background-color: #6abe2b !important;
}

    Can you please try that? The !important flag basically raises the priority of your command above that of other commands.

    Please also note that the “smartcat_our_team” plugin also loads a copy of the JS and CSS files of the DataTables JS library. This might potentially interfere in the future, so I recommend to turn loading those files off, if possible.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Thanks Tobias, that did it! Once I get the tables set up on this page as templates, I’ll be getting some of your premium offerings as there will be over 120 tables to build for this site. Love the sort & search features!
