 * I want to change the background color for the head row. I’ve tried with:
    .tablepress
   thead th, .tablepress tfoot th { background-color: #643210; } as you suggested,
   but it does not work.
 * I have seen some topics talking about the same problem, but I really feel a bit
   lost trying to solve it. (You can see the result here: [http://www.iautism.info/en/2011/10/12/list-of-books-on-autism/](http://www.iautism.info/en/2011/10/12/list-of-books-on-autism/))
 * By the way, congratulations again for your plugin.

 * Hi,
 * the reason for this is that your theme also has CSS code that sets the background
   color. We’ll therefore just need to increase the importance of your CSS, by adding
   the `!important` keyword. Please try again with this:
 *     ```
       .tablepress thead th,
       .tablepress tfoot th {
         background-color: #643210 !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
