  • Could you give us the link to the page with the table, at the moment your whole message links to the root of your site.

    Your website is presently using both a cache scheme and minify, this could be concealing your changes from being viewed. Maybe you can find refresh controls for these, otherwise can you disable them ? Does this make a difference ?

    The overall result you want requires you to customise some CSS so that your tables display as you want. You may need to use a child theme or a custom CSS plugin.

    Sorry – I don’t understand what a cache or minify is! Where will I find these?

    The cache and minify controls will be in your plugins, also possibly they will have a tab in the settings group on the left in your dashboard.

    It will help us help you if you provide a link to the page with the table.

    Sorry – I thought I had attached a link to the page

    Sorry, I miss that you are linking your whole message. This is not the usual practice, it is best to give the link text visibly in the message, AND also use it to link to it.

    You have been unsuccessful in setting CELLPADDING because in your css you have this:

    td, th {
        padding: 0;
    }

    However changing this in your CSS will impact ALL tables.
    A better solution is to add a class to your table, and use this to target the css for this table, so your “table” line would become:
    <table class="meetings">
    Then in your custom css you would have:

    table.meetings {
     border: 1px;
    }
    .meetings th, .meetings td {
     padding: 15px;
     width: 100%;
    }

    Apologies. As I said I am very new to this and have never used a forum before. And apologies again because here comes another stupid question – where is my custom css?

    Some themes support custom css.
    There are some plugins that add custom css to a site.
    Otherwise you can convert your theme to a child theme, then you can safely add your extra css to the styles.css file. Details here:

    Wow! This could be the answer to several little problems I have. I created a free website just for my own self-training and I can do things on there that I can’t do on my inherited website. Thanks once again – and thank you WordPress for the free training. xx
