 * Hi,
    I am trying to create a table to go over an image and for that I need a 
   transparent background but it is not working for me. I am simply trying to use
   the background color configuration in the table editor. I do not know codes so
   I am stock. Thanks for your help!

 * Hello there.
 * Sorry for the late response.
 * The page you left as related to this issue doesn’t exist anymore (it comes up
   with a 404 error), so we can’t see the table, unfortunately.
 * We haven’t tested this on a live site, but this CSS should work:
 * To make rows transparent:
 *     ```
       .wpDataTablesWrapper table.wpDataTable td {
       background-color: transparent !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * To make the headers transparent:
 *     ```
       .wpDataTablesWrapper table.wpDataTable th {
       background-color: transparent !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Please let us know if that helps.

 * Thank you for getting back to me, I will try that code on the live website.
