Title: Change row height Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Change row height * Resolved [Actiontripguru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/actiontripguru/) * (@actiontripguru) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-row-height/) * Hi * I’m finding Tablepress very useful so far but have run into an issue where it is increasing the height of my second row. See the “stats” tab in: [http://actiontripguru.com/windsurfing-destinations-january/](http://actiontripguru.com/windsurfing-destinations-january/) * I suspect this is being caused by the icons I use across this row. There is now extra space below the icons and I don’t want the icons any smaller. How can I get the row height to match the other rows? * If there is a better way of setting the icon size in each cell than using

, please advise. * Thanks for your help * Andrew * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-row-height/#post-5273349) * Hi, * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble. * This is likely caused by those extra `

`s. Please remove those and instead try to set the size of the icons with CSS, like * ``` .tablepress .icon { font-size: 150%; } ``` * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [Actiontripguru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/actiontripguru/) * (@actiontripguru) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-row-height/#post-5273387) * Hi Tobias * No worries and thanks for your quick answer. * Yes, removing the H4’s worked and the rows are now all the same height. Unfortunately adding the suggested code has no effect on the size of the icons though. * What next? * Regards * Andrew * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-row-height/#post-5273391) * Hi Andrew, * ok, then please try again with * ``` .tablepress [class^="icon"] { font-size: 150%; } ``` * By the way, you can shorten all of that * ``` .tablepress-id-1 .column-1 { padding: 8px; } .tablepress-id-1 .column-2 { padding: 8px; } .tablepress-id-1 .column-3 { padding: 8px; } ``` * stuff to * ``` .tablepress-id-1 th, .tablepress-id-1 td { padding: 8px !important; } ``` * without having to specify all columns separately. * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [Actiontripguru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/actiontripguru/) * (@actiontripguru) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-row-height/#post-5273412) * Hi Tobias * That’s brilliant! Problem solved with the icons. * I followed your kind suggestion for tidying up the CSS – for some reason that stops the column width setting for column 1 from working? Any ideas? * Regards * Andrew * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-row-height/#post-5273481) * Hi Andrew, * good to hear that this helps! * Regarding the width of the first column: The problem now is that the other cells take more width, so that there’s not enough left for the first column. To change that, please change * ``` padding: 8px !important; ``` * to * ``` padding: 8px 4px !important; ``` * That will reduce the left and right spacing in the cells. * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [Actiontripguru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/actiontripguru/) * (@actiontripguru) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-row-height/#post-5273590) * Hi Tobias * That’s perfect!

We are free to simply add content, but I am excited by the creative potential here. Each team is limited to a single page, so at the very least I want to keep the page compact to limit the amount of scrolling readers must do. I want to reduce row height, but the solutions I’ve read (row height, padding, etc) all require access to the style sheet to enter CSS code, which I’ve found no way to do. Is there a way to change row height without style sheet access?

This is only possible with CSS code, so that you will need to add e.g. * ``` .tablepress td, .tablepress th { line-height: normal; } ``` * to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress. * Regards, Tobias * [Soccer Page Manager](https://wordpress.org/support/users/soccer-page-manager/) * (@soccer-page-manager) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-row-height/#post-5273739) * Thanks for the definitive answer.
