 * Hey Tobias,
 * I’m having a few issues, I am trying to add custom CSS code to show vertical 
   lines on the columns (as below)
 * .tablepress-id-1 th,
    .tablepress-id-1 td { border: 1px solid #cccccc; }
 * However, the changes don’t seem to be taking effect. They did show once then 
   they disappeared when I refreshed the page.
 * I have turned of my cache plugin and still nothing? Could this have something
   to do with the latest WordPress update that came pout today?
 * Any ideas?
    Cheers

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * We might simply have to give your command a higher priority, so that it overrides
   other CSS. For that, please use the command with the `!important` flag, like:
 *     ```
       border: 1px solid #cccccc !important;
       ```
   
 * If that doesn’t help, can you please post a link to the page with the table where
   this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!
 * Regards,
    Tobias

    .tablepress thead th { background-color: #d1584b !important;
   color: #ffffff; }
 * Thanks Awesome Plug-in
