 * I’ve got a tablepress shortcode inside of a div, and it appears as though there’s
   padding on top that’s kicking the text down so that it hangs just below the div.
 * I’m using the following custom CSS commands in Plugin Options for tbody td
 *  padding: none;
    text-align: center;
 * I’ve tried using a -5px margin-top and also -5px padding-top, but neither changes
   the placement of the text. When I remove the tablepress code and just place the
   text itself in the div, it sits where I want it to…so it seems something in tablepress
   is kicking the text down but I can’t figure out what it is.
 * Can you help?

 * Unfortunately, I can’t post the URL because it’s an in-development site that 
   I can’t post publicly yet. Is there a way I can send it to you privately?

 * to
 *     ```
       padding: 0;
       ```
