No CSS tab on site customizer can't format tables

    The CSS for this theme puts big white boarders, like white wall tires, around tables. I just need a table to organize images and I don’t want it to show (border: 0px and padding: 0px;). I can’t access the CSS and I can’t seem to override it for this one table. This is probably a super stupid question, sorry, could one of you smart people help me?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    You have the ability to edit the CSS stylesheet on a wordpress.COM hosted site only when you upgrade to WordPress.COM Premium or Business plans.

    The only themes we can use on WordPress.COM hosted sites are here https://wordpress.com/themes/ The way your theme is designed to function and the features it has are found at the detailed description page, for example at https://wordpress.com/theme/resonar and that’s where the live demo site link is also found. We cannot change how any theme functions. We can do some CSS editing to change appearance only if we have the required upgrade.

    WordPress.COM is a multi user blogging platform with off the shelf themes and it’s aimed for use by those who do not code. Each theme is uniquely designed. We wordpress.com bloggers do not have access to the template files underlying our themes and we cannot edit them, as our blogs share a common architecture, and as all blogs wearing the same theme use the same underlying template, found on the live demo site for each theme.

    Does Customize let me edit HTML?
    No. Customize allows you to edit fonts, colors, and CSS only. You can change the appearance of a theme, but not its HTML markup or PHP code. If you require this functionality, please consider moving your blog to a web host that supports theme code modifications. You can read more about why here http://support.wordpress.com/code/, and find a suitable host here http://get.wp.com/hosting/.

    Note 1: Once you have the required upgrade you can use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can create a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need with CSS editing.

    Note 2: You can also post there prior to purchasing an upgrade to get an answer to whether or not what you want to do can be accomplished via CSS editing.

    If you’re not ready to upgrade just yet, I’d be glad to help you with some inline CSS that can be added to the table without using the custom CSS panel in the Customizer. Could you please link to the page or post with your table so I can have a look directly?

    Keep in mind that tables are not responsive by default, so they don’t adjust to mobile screens, so they don’t usually look good on small screen sizes. Galleries automatically organize images in grids, so if you’re looking to display images neatly, that’s what I’d recommend. You can learn how to add galleries here:

    Looks like you may have figured it out already, as I see a gallery here, for example:

    Just let us know if you need further help.
