  Hi all . I can’t seem to get zeros to show up in the table on this page: http://staffordcc.wordpress.com/fixtures-2012-13/test-tables/

  Any help would be very much appreciated. The following code was copied from one of those html generator site and copied and pasted leaving me to fill in the blanks.

  <table border=”1″ cellspacing=”3″ cellpadding=”3″>
  <tbody>
  <tr>
  <td>Grade</td>
  <td>Home</td>
  <td>Score</td>
  <td>Score</td>
  <td>Away</td>
  <td>Grade</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td>999</td>
  <td>Home Team Name</td>
  <td>1</td>
  <td>4</td>
  <td>Away Team Name</td>
  <td>999</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td>188</td>
  <td>Player 1</td>
  <td>0</td>
  <td>1</td>
  <td>Player 1</td>
  <td>170</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td>178</td>
  <td>Player 2</td>
  <td>½</td>
  <td>½</td>
  <td>Player 2</td>
  <td>170</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td>170</td>
  <td>Player 3</td>
  <td>0</td>
  <td>1</td>
  <td>Player 3</td>
  <td>170</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td>160</td>
  <td>Player 4</td>
  <td>0</td>
  <td>1</td>
  <td>Player 4</td>
  <td>170</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td>150</td>
  <td>Player 5</td>
  <td>½</td>
  <td>½</td>
  <td>Player 5</td>
  <td>170</td>
  </tr>
  </tbody>
  </table>

  I sorted this by putting a space in front of the 0. I’m open to suggestions of a better way though.

  the same problem for me…
  I tried with
  [sourcecode lang="text"]0[/sourcecode]
  and
  [sourcecode lang="text"]1[/sourcecode].
  I can’t get the first one.

  I’m also having the same problem. I had an issue with the tables on my website, following a WordPress update in October, which was resolved by kathrynwp via this thread:(https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/html-table-format?replies=27#post-1091318) The problem with the vanishing zeros seems to be a hangover from this.

  My site incorporates a lot of tables, so a more general solution than specific coding changes would be very useful. For the most important tables, I tried inserting a space before the zero as an interim measure – this worked in some instances, but the spaces seemed to stripped out automatically on other occasions.

  Here is an example of an affected page:

  Just checked my site, and the problem seems to have been resolved. Many thanks for sorting it out.
