The table has a css class of jlad_shortcode_table, so you can style it with css, for example:

`

.jlad_shortcode_table thead,
.jlad_shortcode_table tfoot {
background-color: #000077;
color: #FFFFFF;
}

.jlad_shortcode_table tr:nth-child(even) {
background-color: #f2f2f2;
}

.jlad_shortcode_table td:last-child {
text-align: center;
width: 20%;
}

.jlad_shortcode_table tfoot td:first-child {
text-align: right;
}
`

Creates a table with blue background and white text header/footer rows, zebra stripes on the post list, centers the likes/dislikes column and aligns the “Total” in the footer to the right of the column.

Custom Function

<?php echo do_shortcode('[just_like_and_dislike id=post_id]');?>
