Changing background color of a table

vader7071

I am creating a very basic table with just a little text and an image. I am using the "dark" color scheme on theme Twenty seventeen in Wordpress.

But since the table background it white/off-white, the text does not show up. Is there a way to make the table background pull the same color as the theme?

you could add a custom styling class to each row or cell using rowCallback() or createdCell(), but I would think the simplest solution would be to just override it with normal css
.yourTableClass tr>td { }
that should override any datatables styling, if not the !important tag will
