 * I installed the DataTables Fixed Header extension, and I changed the shortcode
   one one of my tables to use it, but it seems to be broken. This is the URL: [http://bingomobile.us/best-bingo-bonuses/](http://bingomobile.us/best-bingo-bonuses/)
 * See how there is a line going through the table header, and it cuts off some 
   of the words? It also is not staying fixed. Does anyone know what could be the
   problem?

 * I ended up changing it back to normal, but if anyone knows why this happens, 
   please let me know. I would like to use this extension.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * As you have turned this off again, I can’t take a look, but my assumption is 
   that it’s related to the line height of the header row cells.
    Please try again
   after adding this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen
   of TablePress:
 *     ```
       .tablepress thead th {
         line-height: 1.6;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * I think I just realized what was causing it. I had too much written in one of
   the header cells, so I shortened it which caused it to go back to normal height.
   Now it seems to be working perfectly. I’m sure your method of fixing it would
   have worked perfectly if I decided to leave it the way it was and use that method.
   I appreciate the help and thanks for creating such a great plugin! I love it!
