Hello! I tried using the following code:

  background-color: #4A4A4A;
  width: 100%;
  height: 200px;
  text-align: center;
  border-collapse: collapse;
}
table.darkTable td, table.darkTable th {
  border: 1px solid #4A4A4A;
  padding: 3px 2px;
}
table.darkTable tbody td {
  font-size: 13px;
  color: #E6E6E6;
}
table.darkTable tr:nth-child(even) {
  background: #888888;
}
table.darkTable thead {
  background: #000000;
  border-bottom: 3px solid #000000;
}
table.darkTable thead th {
  font-size: 15px;
  font-weight: bold;
  color: #E6E6E6;
  text-align: center;
  border-left: 2px solid #4A4A4A;
}
table.darkTable thead th:first-child {
  border-left: none;
}
table.darkTable tfoot {
  font-size: 12px;
  font-weight: bold;
  color: #E6E6E6;
  background: #000000;
  background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #404040 0%, #191919 66%, #000000 100%);
  background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #404040 0%, #191919 66%, #000000 100%);
  background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #404040 0%, #191919 66%, #000000 100%);
  border-top: 1px solid #4A4A4A;
}

in a raw html widget in wp bakery, and it is showing this:

when it should look like this

I tried multiple things, but the heading of the table does not want to change background, the table can't have a 0px border, and so on. What is going on with tables?

Comments

  • Hello,
    your custom code includes styles which control how the table looks. The theme and VC also have their styling for tables. We suggest pasting the styles to custom css and paste only the table html into the builder.
    thanks
  • In what custom css. The page's custom css or website?
  • I tried adding it in theme's custom css & page's custom css and still not working
  • Sorry but we do not know why does it not work, if you are using some custom scripts from other sources we cannot support this. If you want to use a simple table then use only the HTML and send us a link to a page where you pasted it. Then tell us what do you want to achieve.
  • I solved it. The CSS file for shortcodes was overwriting this.
