 * I’m using “**TablePress Extension: DataTables FixedColumns**” plugin and since
   last TablePress update there’s an issue on front end displaying TablePress.
   There’s
   a black line that has no reason to be there and lines between first comlumn (
   the fixed one) and next columns are offset (the gap is the width of this black
   line).Is there a solution other than go pro?ThanksJacques from Grenoble France

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * It looks like this is caused by some CSS in your theme. To fix this, please add
   this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       .dataTables_wrapper .tablepress {
            margin-bottom: 0 !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Upgrading to TablePress Pro to make this work again is then not necessary. (I
   would still like to invite you to take a look at that, as the Extension will 
   not be getting support or updates in the future, and the future can be configured
   much easier in the Pro version.)
 * Regards,
   Tobias

 * Hi Tobias,
   Since I sent you this message the problem has disappeared. I don’t
   know where it came from. It remains a mystery to me. So I didn’t need to add 
   your css code. Thank you for the work you do on the plugin.

 * Hi,
 * I also added a CSS fix for this in TablePress 2.0.4 so that this “Custom CSS”
   will indeed no longer be necessary 🙂
 * Best wishes,
   Tobias
 * P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress [here](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/reviews/#new-post)
   in the plugin directory. Thanks!
