While trying to optimize PostCSS workflow, I came across “PostProcess”. It’s great, really makes things smooth!

PurgeCSS with PostProcess uses `hugo_stats.json` as given [here](https://gohugo.io/hugo-pipes/postprocess/#css-purging-with-postcss). In my project, I had some ‘table’ elements like, `table`, `thead`, `tbody`, `tr`, `th`, and `td`. But I could see only `table` element in the `hugo_stats.json` file. This leads to PurgeCSS not accounting for the styles I have set for `td` and `th`.

Thoughts? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in anticipation.

I advise you to use this Bep’s module as a basis. It works really fine.

And may be look at this thread to see if this is your case, and try the Hugo dev version who provide a fix

The case you describe is fixed in a Hugo version not so long ago.

Thanks for reply. Running `hugo version` outputs:

```auto
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.75.1-A4A7BAB7/extended linux/amd64 BuildDate: 2020-09-15T06:57:20Z

```

Edit: It’s working with v0.75.1. Thanks @bep, @divinerites !
