Table Shortcode modification

[Judy Huck]

Is it possible to modify the background color of a table cell if you have used the insert shortcode table to create the table?

Thanks.

The url is http://www.wildlandfire2016.ca/

The page I am working is not published and I ended up finding a plugin so that Table will show up in the edit mode.

I still would like to find out if you can modify the table cells when creating a table by adding shortcode, table.

Hi Judy,

You can modify the table using CSS. Publish the page where you are working with the table then we will send you CSS instruction for the same.

This is a test page that I have created using the insert shortcode for a table. It will have 5 columns and I want to be able to change the color of each cell in the first row.

Hi Judy,

It shows “Sorry, you are not allowed to preview drafts.”

Did you saved this page in draft?

Hi Judy,

Add the class in table shortcode so it should be: [su_table class="custom-table"]

Then go to Appearance>>Theme Option>>Basic Setting>>Custom CSS Box

Add this code there:

.custom-table.su-table .su-even td:nth-child(1){background-color: #BA49E4 !important;}
.custom-table.su-table .su-even td:nth-child(2){background-color: #489A21 !important;}
.custom-table.su-table .su-even td:nth-child(3){background-color: #E10005 !important;}
.custom-table.su-table .su-even td:nth-child(4){background-color: #0BAC88 !important;}
.custom-table.su-table .su-even td:nth-child(5){background-color: #4E28FF !important;}
