Working on customizing the Whitehouse WordPress theme has been quite a challenge lately. It seems that some predefined style rules within the theme are interfering with the tags I'm implementing, causing some frustrating issues to deal with.
Specifically, the cellspacing and cellpadding attributes are not behaving as expected, content within table cells is aligning oddly at the bottom, and strange gaps and spaces are unexpectedly appearing throughout the layout.
Understanding the intricacies of the theme's CSS rules is proving to be a struggle, as different aspects are causing different issues. Is there a way to force the browser to disregard ALL existing CSS declarations for certain elements, and only pay attention to the inline styles I add directly to those tags?
