 * Just leaving a note that when you save custom CSS options, in Advanced Settings-
   > CSS Code, it is encoding the CSS code where it shouldn’t. For example, if you
   wish to add a greater than symbol, it encodes it as an html entity which breaks
   the css rule.
 * I noticed this as I wished to override one of your default rules, and copies 
   the syntax to use the immediate sibling rule, but had to rewrite it another way
   to avoid this encoding issue.

 * Hi,
 * Yes, the CSS box contents get escaped 🙁
 * Hopefully you can use a class or some other more direct targetting instead.
