 * I am unable to obtain vertical borders in a 3 rows two columns table. Any idea
   what’s wrong.
    I am using this css to style the border. (And I did read the FAQ
   but still not able to get the answer there.
 *     ```
       .tablepress thead th,
       .tablepress tfoot th {
       	background-color: #000000;
       }
   
       .tablepress-id-1,
       .tablepress-id-1 tr,
       .tablepress-id-1 tbody td,
       .tablepress-id-1 thead th,
       .tablepress-id-1 tfoot th {
       	border-color: #000000;
       }
       ```

 * Hi,
 * thanks for the question.
 * The “Custom CSS” that you have posted would only change the color of the border,
   bot not the actual appearance (i.e. its size/width and type). For that, you’ll
   want something like
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-1,
       .tablepress-id-1 tr,
       .tablepress-id-1 tbody td,
       .tablepress-id-1 thead th,
       .tablepress-id-1 tfoot th {
       	border: 1px solid #000000;
       }
       ```
   
 * as the second part of the code. You’ve probably found that in the other post,
   right? 🙂
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Yes, exactly that. Lol.
    Thanks for the reply and I should have quoted it so 
   it could have helped another person.
 * Enjoy your evening.
