 * Hello,
 * First of all, thank you for an amazing plugin.
 * I am very new to this so I apologize in advance. What I want is some CSS to carry
   out the following:
 * Every tablepress table I make I want:
 * 1. All borders to show, solid, in black, 1px including the top row (which currently
   I am not managing to do, other borders are on but not the top one). I do not 
   use a header row or footer row.
 * 2. I want to remove the search box completely
 * 3. I want to remove the sorting capability…the small up/down arrows next to column
   heading
 * Sorry if all this sounds demanding…it is so that my whole website has a common
   theme for all elements.
 * Thank you so much.
 * I run the Nirvana theme.
 * Colin

 * Hi Colin,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Only question 1. needs CSS code here. Most likely, it should be enough to change
   the line (similar to)
 *     ```
       border: 1px solid #000000;
       ```
   
 * to
 *     ```
       border: 1px solid #000000 !important;
       ```
   
 * For question 2. and 3., just uncheck the corresponding checkboxes in the “Features
   of the DataTables JS library” section on the “Edit” screen of the table, to turn
   off these features.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi Tobias,
 * Wow thank you so much for responding. Yes the CSS did the trick!
 * However,
 * I have already tried the tick boxes in the settings section to no avail. I have
   tried with and without ticks and there is no change to the resulting table.
 * Whether there are ticks for search and sort or not, both search and sort remain.
 * Also, I should point out, I have tried this with and without using row 1 as the
   header row. I prefer not using row 1 as a header row which I believe removes 
   the Features of DataTables JS Library anyway.
 * please look at
 * [http://webserver.hebburn.net/index.php/overview/](http://webserver.hebburn.net/index.php/overview/)
 * to see my test table in action. All is perfect for what I need other than the
   search box still showing.
 * Sorry to be a pest.
 * Thank you
 * Colin

 * Hi Tobias,
 * I have solved it.
 * I turned off some other table widgets…
 * Data Tables Generator by Supsystic
    Easy Table FooTable Ultimate Tables Visual
   Table Formatting Lite
 * Upon doing so, everything is working as it should in the JS Library section now.
 * Thank you!!!!!

 * Hi,
 * ah, yes, those other table plugins also add features like the sorting and filtering.
   Good to hear that everything is working now!
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias
 * P.S.: In case you haven’t, please [rate TablePress](http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/tablepress)
