I may have a way to accomplish what I wanted.
I added the following to the Customer CSS Commands in the Plugin Options for this specific table.
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px!important;
I was thinking I had to add padding information to the table shortcode, but could never get it to work.
Any suggestions of a better way to do this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rich
Hi,
the way you now used is the best one and I recommend it.
Using “Custom CSS” is the way to go here (as you can not change the padding with a Shortcode parameter.)
Best wishes,
Tobias
Thanks Tobias, it is good to know that I am doing this correctly.
One more question having to do with spacing…
Is there a way to control the amount of space below the table before the article text starts. For some reason, it looks like I have about 3 or 4 lines of blank space after the table, which I do not have in the design of the page.
This shown on: http://prosidingonline.com, where you will see the gap between the captions and the next line of text.
Thanks,
Rich
Hi,
that space comes from some <br /> HTML tags that are someone being added to the three table cells.
They are likely the result of line breaks after the Shortcodes in your cells (i.e. you should not have any (empty) new lines after the Shortcodes for the galleries in the cells). If not, they are added by the gallery Shortcodes, in which case you would have to take a look at that plugin to remove them.
Regards,
Tobias
Hi Tobias,
I had copied and pasted the shortcode for the slideshow, apparently bringing along with the copy a line break. To fix, I highlighted the area after each shortcode and hit the delete key. (In all three cells of the table, there was space to delete.)
Such a simply fix, but with the invisible <br />, it did not even occur to me as an issue.
I am still not sure this process of using a table to put 3 shortcodes side by side is the best approach, but it is the only one I could come up with at this point.
If you have ever put slideshows side by side in a WordPress format, I would welcome the information as to how you did it. I really wanted to use the NextGEN Monoslideshow plugin combination, but I could not find any way to put more than one slideshow on a single page.
Thanks so much for your help!

Hi,
yeah, those <br/> tags are a little bit tricky, so good to hear that you could solve it.
I have not yet need to place slideshows next to each other, but the “perfect” solution, instead of using a table, would be to use <div> tags that you style with CSS (i.e. adjust the width and float` parameters). That way, you would have a semantically better way, but using tables works, too, of course.
Best wishes,
Tobias
Hi Tobias,
I took your advice and placed the 3 side by side slideshows inside nexted div’s. The look great and are easier to manage.
I still think your WP-Table Reloaded is a great plugin, with awesome features. I look forward to using it in the future on other applications.
Thanks so much for your advice.
Sincerely,
Rich
Hi Rich,
great! It should indeed be easier to manage that way and it is better for the “style” of your HTML code.
Best wishes,
Tobias
