* I created a simple table with one row. In this row, I highlighted the first cell
in yellow and saved the table. Later I removed the selection, but now I have
styles appearing in the page code all the time.
* ```wp-block-code
```
* How can I remove and completely disable styles in this and necessarily on other
tables so that they are not shown on the pages at all?
* By the way, this style insertion does not pass code validation [https://validator.w3.org/](https://validator.w3.org/)

* Hi there.
* Thank you for reaching out to us. We tried replicating this issue locally, but
we couldn’t. This is a result of a 1-row simple table with the background color
set to yellow:
* ```wp-block-code
```
* When the color is removed, it’s just an empty style:
* ```wp-block-code
```
* Since you have “thead”, td, and th, it appears you’re not using Simple Tables,
but instead a different table type. Which table type was that? Did you manually
define the background color, or did you define a rule for the background color?
We tried replicating the issue in a CSV-based table, and we couldn’t. Can you
please explain in more detail and we’ll gladly explore this issue further?
* The issues reported by validator.w3.org are related to the HTML structure, not
the CSS code itself. The CSS code you provided is valid, but when validating
through an HTML validator, it’s important to ensure the HTML document is properly
structured.
* If you were to enclose this CSS in HTML (as it’s enclosed on an actual page),
it wouldn’t return any errors. You can try this:
* ```wp-block-code
Document Title
```

* Thanks a lot for the detailed answer. The main question was precisely that [https://validator.w3.org](https://validator.w3.org)
writes an error on the HTML structure: style inside the div. I tried the suggested
method, added the code to the head, but nothing happened.
* ```wp-block-code
function add_custom_style_to_head() { echo ' ';}add_action('wp_head', 'add_custom_style_to_head');
```
* The error remains the same.
1. **Error**: Element [`style`](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/#the-style-element)
not allowed as child of element [`div`](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/#the-div-element)
in this context. (Suppressing further errors from this subtree.)From line 681,
column 7; to line 681, column 40`le>↩**
```
* Can you please try removing that part, then check, does that resolve the said
error?
Thank you.

* Hello again,
Apologies, we forgot to add one more detail our developers mentioned.
If the said suggestion from above does not help, can you please try to elaborate/
clarify a bit more, if you can send us more details as to where are you implementing
this element exactly, perhaps the issue could be with the method/way how you
are trying to achieve/add it.You can add screenshots or even better record a
Video of your screen to show us these details/steps etc.If the screenshots/ Video
contains any sensitive data, then it is best to open a private new ticket on
our [main Support platform here](https://tmsplugins.ticksy.com/), and one of
our Agents will respond as quickly as possible to proceed there in further details,
you can just refer to our correspondence.
* If you don’t have a licence (or if it expired), please open a [pre-purchase ticket](https://tmsplugins.ticksy.com/submit/#100010481)
which doesn’t require a purchase code.
* Premium products are not supported in these forums, as per [this comment](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-not-logged-into-wordpress-backend/#post-15050671)
by WordPress.org moderators.
* Thank you for understanding.
* Kind regards.

* Hello,
Apologies for going back and forth like this today.Our developers went
through everything again and we found useful details for you.Basically, the first
part of the code is from the Simple
table creation.
*
* 
*
Our Plugin is automatically generating this, so you should remove it if there
is no custom style included with it.The second part is coming from your Global
Plugin settings ( Main Plugin settings/Color and Font settings), where you most
probably still have the style you added there.
* 
*
Can you please check and reset those settings, then the issue should be resolved?
Let us know how it goes.Thank you.
