 * This plugin is near perfect for my needs. Thanks for providing it. I’m having
   trouble though getting a table border to appear on the site. It appears in the
   preview but not on the site. It might be a “theme” issue. Can someone help me?
 * Here’s the code I’m using in the Advanced Post List – Settings:
 * <table style=”border-color: #663300; border-width: 2px; width: 750px;” border
   =”2px” cellpadding=”3″>
    <tbody> <tr> <td style=”width: 100px;”>**<span style
   =”font-size: 20px; color: #663300;”>[post_meta name=”date”]</span>**</td> <td
   style=”width: 350px;”>[post_content]</td> <td style=”width: 100px;”><img src=”[
   post_thumb]”></img></td> </tr> </tbody> </table>

 * I tested this out on my localhost, and I see what may be the problem. Cause I
   see somewhat the same issue you described.
 * Although, my first theory was that the table was too big and it was getting overlapped,
   but it doesn’t explain why the whole border is missing. The problem that I ran
   into with my test site is the theme CSS styles were taking over some things.
 * Could you link the URL to the page that your having the issues on. I might be
   able to figure out what exactly is going on.
 * Anyways, glad you enjoy the plugin, and thank you.

 * Thanks for the followup. I figured out a workaround via the them CSS, as you 
   guessed. I add this:
 * .entry td, .entry th, table.exif td, #nav {
    border: 2px solid #642; }
 * And that did it. Thanks again and I hope that this helps out anyone else that
   might have a similar issue.

 * Np, thank you for posting this btw. Last night I ended up finding a bug that 
   your setting was able to display. So I’m working on getting another version out
   sometime within the next few days.
