Hello, 

I have a quick question about an issue I have on Confluence. Please bear with me I am new to Confluence so there might be an easy answer. 

On my pages, I've created tables where the table headers have white writing:

However,  once I've generated the pages for the review / live website the table headers then appear black and the headers are unreadable.Holds Information Website.png

Why does this happen? Plus, is there a way of fixing it? 

Thanks 
Neil

@Neil Bowers Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I am not seeing this in my free Confluence Cloud site. I am also not seeing the dark blue you are using in my background color choices for my table cells. It also looks like your text in Edit mode is not bolded, but it is bolded in View mode.

Are you using a third-party plug in in your table?

I second @Barbara Szczesniak's guess that there's some kind of app involved because natively Confluence doesn't have those arrows in tables.

Hi both, 

First of all thank you for the reply, very much appreciated. I have been looking further into this with other users of Confluence.

All we are doing is creating standard tables using the default settings in Confluence

We've tried changing the colours in the headers of the tables and changing the wording to black to see if that would turn white. Nothing appears to be working at all. Is there a setting maybe that we've missed?
