  When I paste a table from Recipe Analyzer into my blog, I align it left. It looks good, but when I view the post the top rows are uneven with rest of table. Is there a way to group the rows together?

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

  Hi there!

  Thanks for reaching out! It sounds like you’re having trouble with the alignment and appearance of tables when pasting them from the Recipe Analyzer into your blog. Let’s take a look at how you can resolve this.

  1. Check Table Code

  • When pasting tables from external sources, sometimes extra HTML or inline CSS might cause formatting issues. I recommend switching to the HTML editor (you can find this option when editing a post) and checking the code for the table. Ensure that each row (<tr>) and cell (<td>) is properly aligned and that no extra styles are conflicting with your desired layout.

  2. Use Table Block

  • Another option is to manually recreate the table using the built-in Table Block in WordPress. This will ensure your table follows WordPress’s formatting and avoids any external style issues. To do this:
    • Add a Table Block in your post.
    • Copy and paste the content from the Recipe Analyzer into the appropriate rows and columns.
    • WordPress’s Table Block allows you to adjust alignment and formatting, which should help keep everything even.

  3. CSS Customization

  • If the table still appears uneven after aligning it left, you can add a little custom CSS to adjust the spacing. Here’s a quick way to do that:
    • Go to your WordPress dashboard and click on Customize > Additional CSS.
  • 4. Responsive Table Plugins
  • You can also use a table plugin, like TablePress, which offers more control over how tables display, especially if you’re pasting tables from external sources.

  If these suggestions don’t resolve the issue, feel free to let us know, and we’ll be happy to take a closer look.
