 * Hi,
 * I want to add a space above the heading in the table, below the border. I have
   added:
 * padding-top: 20px !important;
 * into the CSS for row 1 of the table (there is only 1 row) but it isn’t working.(
   The other CSS for row 1 is working fine.)
 * Thanks
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpadding-not-working-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Please try adding the padding to the actual cells in the row, i.e.
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-33 .row-1 td {
         padding-top: 20px !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
