(For your next post, please use proper capitalization in your post, as uppercase-only is considered as “screaming” on the web. Thanks!) * The problem on your site is that your theme is also adding borders to tables in a rather aggressive way. We will therefore need to slightly modify the “Custom CSS” code. Please try again with changing * ``` border: none; ``` * to * ``` border: none !important; ``` * Regards, Tobias * [lcappiello](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lcappiello/) * (@lcappiello) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/border-for-a-only-column/#post-5209344) * Perfect thank you !!!
