Title: Remove Table Borders Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Remove Table Borders * Resolved [ajetal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ajetal/) * (@ajetal) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-table-borders-1/) * Saw in FAQ’s the code to be inserted into plugin options to eliminate table borders and did so. Wanted to eliminate all borders in the table on the following page but only the interior, vertical borders were eliminated: * [Parts Page](http://www.smithvalleygarage.com/parts/) * In case it matters, I have inserted some other code into plugin options to influence table on this page also(although not to eliminate borders): * [Equipment Page](http://www.smithvalleygarage.com/equipment/) * Thanks so much… * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tablepress/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tablepress/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 24 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-table-borders-1/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-table-borders-1/page/2/?output_format=md) * [Yael K.

I said as much in the original post. Is there something else I’m missing here? * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-table-borders-1/#post-3399207) * Hi, * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble. * Also thanks to Yael, for helping out with the FAQ link. Unfortunately, the solution from the FAQ is not enough in your case, as your theme’s CSS is “stronger”. So, we again need to be “stronger” 🙂 * Please try again with * ``` #content .tablepress-id-2, #content .tablepress-id-2 tr, #content .tablepress-id-2 tbody td, #content .tablepress-id-2 thead th, #content .tablepress-id-2 tfoot th { border: none; } ``` * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [ajetal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ajetal/) * (@ajetal) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-table-borders-1/#post-3399242) * Thanks, everyone….problem solved!!! * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-table-borders-1/#post-3399243) * Hi, * awesome! Great to hear that. Thanks for the confirmation! * Best wishes, Tobias * P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory.

Don’t know if my theme CSS is very strong… * I’ve tried with this code, but it doesn’t work. * ``` #content .tablepress-id-1, #content .tablepress-id-1 tr, #content .tablepress-id-1 tbody td, #content .tablepress-id-1 thead th, #content .tablepress-id-1 tfoot th { border: none; } ``` * I’d also like to reduce the padding, but same, it doesn’t work. Nothing happens: * ``` .tablepress-id-1 .column-2 { padding: 1px; } ``` * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-table-borders-1/#post-3399409) * Hi, * thanks for your question. You are right, your theme CSS is very “strong”, so that the “Custom CSS” has to be modified a little bit. The code that you posted( with `#content` prepended in each line) does work nicely (You are currently using that with the `#content`). * The same will work for the padding. Please try * ``` #content .tablepress-id-1 .column-2 { padding: 1px; } ``` * Regards, Tobias * [Simargentina](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simargentina/) * (@simargentina) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-table-borders-1/#post-3399410) * Thank you very much!! Nice!! * Sorry for the first code, i hadn’t see that there was the “#content” part now. * Nice job Tobias! 🙂 * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-table-borders-1/#post-3399411) * Hi, * great to see that it worked! 🙂 And no problem, you are very welcome! * Best wishes, Tobias * P.S.: In case you haven’t, please [rate TablePress](http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/tablepress) here in the plugin directory.

I couldn’t remove the border. * Any suggestions?

So, please remove that`# main` again and use the standard code for removing borders from the FAQ, and additionally add this “Custom CSS”: * ``` .tablepress { border-collapse: collapse !important; } ``` * Regards, Tobias * [BioNet54](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bionet54/) * (@bionet54) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-table-borders-1/#post-3399436) * Working like a boss!
