 * Can someone explain why this styling doesn’t work?
 * With the code below I’m trying to change the text color of Header and Footer 
   rows.
 *     ```
       .post-content .tablepress thead,
       .post-content .tablepress tfoot {
       	color: #ffffff;
       	word-break: normal;
       }
       ```
   
 * With this code I’m trying to change the links (link & visited) color but i want
   to keep the current hoover color that comes with the theme.
 *     ```
       .post-content .tablepress thead a,
       .post-content .tablepress tfoot a {
       	color: #ffffff;
       	word-break: normal;
       }
       ```
   
 * And finally with this code i’m trying to change the background color.
 *     ```
       .post-content .tablepress thead,
       .post-content .tablepress tfoot {
       	background-color: #234e86;
       }
       ```

 * Hi,
 * thanks for the link! For this, why don’t you stick to the examples in the FAQ,
   e.g. [https://tablepress.org/faq/change-background-color-table-head-row/](https://tablepress.org/faq/change-background-color-table-head-row/)
   instead of what you tried?
