 * How do I reduce the top and bottom spacing in tables?
 * Another question- do I need to backup anything before updating wordpress? (I 
   did not make changes in the core files).
 * Thank you!

 * 1. Can you send me a link to your site so I can see the specific space that you’re
   talking about?
 * 2. As long as you’ve not made any changes to the theme’s php files, you don’t
   have anything to worry about.

 * Hey,
    The link you posted has a page set up with table html (not common these
   days for anything but data tables).
 * The table html is defining all the styles, no theme css if effecting it.
 * Right now for example you have the table height set to 1613px;
 * I suggest using responsive html by using the themes column shortcodes or a system
   like pagebuilder: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/siteorigin-panels/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/siteorigin-panels/)
 * Else if you remove the height setting from the table html that will shrink your
   table up a little.
