 * I am having trouble with too much space between rows on [http://www.crossfitplett.com/table-test/?preview=true](http://www.crossfitplett.com/table-test/?preview=true)
 * I read other threads and then added this to the Custom CSS under Plugin Options:
   .
   tablepress-id-li-1 { border-collapse: separate !important; border-spacing: 0px
   20px; }
 * Still the same.
 * How do I get rid of that space??

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Unfortunately, your link is not working for me, as such a preview is only available
   to logged-in users. Could you “publish” that page?

 * Hi,
 * thanks, now it works!
 * This is actually not a matter of CSS here, so that you can remove that “Custom
   CSS” code again.
 * The problem is basically caused by how you added the HTML code for the lists 
   into the tables. That HTML code contains manua line breaks, which are automatically
   transformed to real HTML `<br />` tags, and those caused the extra space.
    The
   quickest way to get rid of that should be to simply turn off that conversion.
   For that, please try extending the Shortcode to
 *     ```
       [table id=1 convert_line_breaks=false /]
       ```

    Tobias

 * I have also now replaced it with a table with only plain text, no added html.
   Still the same

 * Hi,
 * ah, there seems to be another (funny) issue 🙂 Your theme is setting the text
   color to white for every second row 🙂
    To fix that, please add this to the “
   Custom CSS” textarea:
 *     ```
       .tablepress td {
           color: #333333 !important;
       }
       ```

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * To remove the space between rows and to remove the border, please try adding 
   this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-1 tbody td {
       	border: none;
       	padding: 4px 8px;
       }
       ```
   
 * For that question with the image: Sorry, I can’t really help with that, this 
   is not something that is related to TablePress. I suggest to ask your theme support
   team about this.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi Tobias,
 * I went to the page and didn’t really help me that much because I follow all the
   steps they say there and nothing changing on my site.
 * here are the steps I did to create table press in first page
    I went to add New,
   got my rows, then code the short cut then copy and pasted on the resume body 
   and update.
 * I went to the link you posed above FAQ to add CSS “Plugin Options” screen of 
   TablePress and I enter them there. and now the code appears on my site but didn’t
   change anything. Any help with that.

 * Thank you
