 * Hi Tobias,
 * First of all, great plugin!
 * I just started using it, but I’m having some issues with the padding. I have 
   added the following custom CSS code.
 * .tablepress-id-1 {
    padding: 1px; }
 * But it doesn’t change on my page [https://www.crispygamer.com/free-spins-no-deposit/](https://www.crispygamer.com/free-spins-no-deposit/)
 * Would you mind having a look?
 * Thank you!

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Could you explain what you are trying to achieve with this? Your CSS command 
   would only alter the padding for the table element itself, but not for the actual
   cells. (There is however CSS code in your “Custom CSS” that sets the cells’ padding
   to 1px as well.)
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi Tobias,
 * Thank you for answering so quickly. What I was trying to accomplish was to remove
   the white space between the cell border and text/image. I just managed to do 
   this by adding “tbody td” to the code so It’s all fixed now.
 * Thanks!
