Firebug didn’t make sense to me as i mentioned…..

Have you started learning it? It’s really quite a basic skill if you want to modify a website.

Also, if you are modifying any theme files, you MUST use a Child Theme – otherwise the changes will be lost when WP is updated.

If you are only making CSS changes, you can do so using a Custom CSS plugin. In that case, try adding this to the Custom CSS:

.entry-content table, .comment-content table {
    margin: 0;
}

That should fix the current problem.

Which custom css plugin should I use????

I was told jinx, but it is 2 years old and a warning that it may not be compatible and i installed it and i have no clue where to find it ……

i tried learning firebug yesterday and had no clue what i was watching…

how can i change to a childtheme now, won’t that change my format and style and everything newsball is?

anyways, which custom css plugin should i use to paste the ebay css code

Custom CSS Manager works well.

Have you changed any theme files? Which ones? If so, you’ll have to move the changes to a child theme – which is more work, but much better than losing everything you’ve done when WP is updated.

I just installed “My custom css” plugin.

I inputed: ” .entry-content table, .comment-content table {
margin: 0;
}

into the box and submitted it. but this page still is as ugly as ever

should i put the whole ebay CSS code in the Custom CSS Code box???? but how would it know to put the auction kit on [Duplicate link removed – See first link in original post] that page????

Looks like you have SuperCache on your site – you need to clear that after making changes.

I’ve edited a tiny bit in the theme files just to put stuff in the footer… I don’t plan to update wordpress. i went a year without updating, probably wont update to the new version for a long time. but pretty much didn’t make any changes…. and i dont know why but everytime someone tells me “child theme” it seems strange to me. Don’t know why people do that…. i cannot switch over to a new theme. i like the twenty twelve theme i have….

but ok so now i have custom css plugin and really i see nothing to do except a box to put custom css in…. should i put the ebay css code in it? how will it know which page i want the auction kit to go on?????? i tried entering that line of coding you said in the my custom css box, but it didn’t fix the page [Duplicate link removed – See first link in original post]

your good. yes i have super cache…. so just click the dial button “caching off”? then back on?

if I click “delete cache” is that bad?

well i don’t know if “DELETE cache” is good or not so i clicked this box and then unclicked it:

Compress pages so they’re served more quickly to visitors. (Recommended)
Compression is disabled by default because some hosts have problems with compressed files. Switching it on and off clears the cache.

Not updating is very stupid – as updates often contain security patches – so your risk of being hacked is higher if you run an old version. So that’s not a good solution at all, sorry.

You need to understand what a child theme is – it simply allows you to make changes to a parent theme without losing those changes when the theme is updated.

Further, people here generally aren’t crazy about helping people modify a default theme so I’d strong suggest you invest the time now to do so.

nothing changed…. its still an ugly distorted oversized box box.

Looks fixed to me – try clearing your browser cache. And DO get the child theme set up.

I have HUGE traffic going right now, literally a viral article and 40,000 page views TODAY already so i must get this implemented into my 1 article…. why won’t a css plugin make this ebay code work??? why is this so difficult
