 * Hi,
 * Not so much a problem, just a query. Fantastic plugin by the way and at the end
   of the month, I am going to make a donation.
 * So my question…I added a bit of CSS onto the Frontend.css file (css code I actually
   took from one of your replies on here..just to change the colour of the button).
   I also took away the file name from the button, using the plugin editor. This
   was about a week ago.
 * Just 10 minutes ago…the colours changed back and the file name came back too.
   I downloaded the css file and my code had gone.
 * Not a problem…just added it back in, took away the filename bit of code again
   and all is well. Was just wondering…what could have caused this to happen? I 
   didn’t update anything…nothing…was just working away, checking links, and all
   of a sudden, it was back to the default colours.
 * More curious than anything else.
 * Thanks.

 * Hey there,
 * The WordPress team just released some automatic updates including an update for
   Download Monitor to patch a security issue. Your website just patched itself 
   keeping it safe and secure but while doing so removed the adjustments you made
   to the core plugin.
 * It’s always better to put custom CSS in your theme instead of in the plugin. 
   Sorry for the inconvenience.
 * Kind Regards,
 * Barry Kooij

 * Thanks for the super quick response…and that makes sense. Will follow your advice
   about the custom CSS.
 * Thank you 🙂
