Title: Padding in rows Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Padding in rows * Resolved [MargotP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/margotp/) * (@margotp) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-in-rows/) * I am trying to change the height of just one row in a table. In a response to a previous query regarding row size you mentioned padding and that that was the easiest/simplest way to do it. So how do I change the padding?

You will want something like this: * ``` .tablepress-id-123 .row-5 td { padding: 2px 8px; } ``` * (Just change the table ID and the row number accordingly.) That will reduce the vertical padding and reduce the row height. * If that doesn’t do it, please post the link to the page with the table in question, and describe what you want to change in which way. * Thanks!

Is that where you put it? Still pretty green at this… Thx * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-in-rows/#post-3415550) * Hi, * thanks for the link. * Unfortunately, just changing the padding here is not enough, as the arrow image gets some “margin” by your theme, which creates this empty space. But that can be changed with some CSS, too. So, please – Remove the current “Custom CSS” ( as that’s not sufficient here), and – Replace it with * ``` .entry-content .tablepress-id-2 { margin: 1em 0; } .tablepress-id-2 img { margin: 0; padding: 0; } ``` * And yes, the “Custom CSS” textarea that you have found is the correct place 🙂 * (By the way, a new version of TablePress is available, so I recommend that you update, which you can do directly in your WordPress admin area.) * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [MargotP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/margotp/) * (@margotp) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-in-rows/#post-3415556) * Thank you so much! * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-in-rows/#post-3415557) * Hi, * no problem, you are very welcome!

This means that there will be no space between the content of the cell and the edge/border of the cell. This means that an empty cell (or row) will not be visible, because there’s no text in it and no border around that. I suggest to fix that by changing the “Custom CSS” * ``` .tablepress td { padding-top: 8px; border: none; background: none; text-align: left; } ``` * to * ``` .tablepress td { padding: 8px !important; border: none; background: none; text-align: left; } ``` * You can then also remove all the other lines that try to change padding from all the other CSS selectors. * Regards, Tobias Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) The topic ‘Padding in rows’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/tablepress/assets/icon.svg?rev=3192944) * [TablePress - Tables in WordPress made easy](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/reviews/) * 9 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * Last activity: [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-in-rows/#post-3415750) * Status: resolved
