How to set a table background image

All you need is WordPress table background image PNG, JPG, or any image file suitable for your table.

If the table shows Halloween products, then pick an image with Halloween elements.

Here’s how to set an image easily in Ninja Tables.

Step 1: Upload the image to your dashboard

The background image of a WordPress table should not make the table data hard to read.

If the image is bright red and the texts are blue, opt for another image or change the text color.

Pick an image that only acts as an accessory to the table and does not make the table look overcrowded.

Step 2: Paste the table background image CSS

Styling a table with CSS might sound difficult. If you’re wondering how to set background image in HTML table, Ninja Tables has the simplest solution.

Paste the following CSS in the “Custom CSS” tab and add a custom background.

#footable_parent_NT_ID .foo-table{
background-image: URL(‘_____’);
}

In the dashed space inside the single inverted commas, paste the link of the image from the media dashboard and hit save.

***Remember to type the single inverted commas (‘___’) manually for the CSS to work!
