I’m not sure what happen, because I just fix the issue with css saving. Please try add `!important` in your css code. * Thread Starter [TheRiz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theriz/) * (@theriz) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-changes-dont-work-1/#post-5284732) * !Important is actually already there: * .rpwe-block h3{ background: none !important; clear: none; margin-bottom: 0 ! important; margin-top: 0 !important; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px !important; line-height: 1.5em; } * Just trying to change the font size to 16 instead of 12. * Thread Starter [TheRiz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theriz/) * (@theriz) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-changes-dont-work-1/#post-5284733) * Also, not sure if I should start a new thread for this, but when I use this as a Subsidiary Widget near the footer, it no longer displays in-line with another widget. * It used to be to the right of the other widget, but now it is underneath.

However, when I added all the code, starting with **#rpwe_widget- 2** , it works. * Hope this can help. * Thread Starter [TheRiz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theriz/) * (@theriz) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-changes-dont-work-1/#post-5284800) * Uendi, where did you add this code? Into the CSS of the widget, or the theme CSS? * [Uendi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/uendi/) * (@uendi) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-changes-dont-work-1/#post-5284801) * Into the CSS of the widget. * [Nitrat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nitrat/) * (@nitrat) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-changes-dont-work-1/#post-5284808) * Into code? How? Give an example of listing * [Uendi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/uendi/) * (@uendi) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-changes-dont-work-1/#post-5284809) * Nitrat, * 1. Firstly, install and activate the plugin. * 2. Go to Appearance > Widgets * 3. Drag Recent Posts Extended to the sidebar widget area where you want to place. * 4. Open up Recent Posts Extended and unchecked “use default styles”. * 5. Scoll down to the “Custom CSS” and you can see the list of Custom CSS. * 6. Let says – you want to change “text-decoration: none” to “text-decoration: underline” and add in “font-size: 13px” under .rpwe-block a{}. * 7. So from the list of Custom CSS, look for: * .rpwe-block a{ display: inline !important; text-decoration: none; } * Change to : * **#rpwe_widget-x** .rpwe-block a { display: inline !important; **text-decoration: underline; font-size: 13px; } * *Note: “#rpwe_widget-x”, you have to refer to firebug and you can get your widget number code over there, as mine is **#rpwe_widget-2**. * 8. Now, click save. * 9. Clear your page cache and go to your site…you are able to see your recent posts widget. * Hope I have done correctly. * [Nitrat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nitrat/) * (@nitrat) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-changes-dont-work-1/#post-5284811) * Thanks – this works. But I can not change the color of the date – dont work: * .rpwe-time{ color: #bbb; font-size: 11px; } * [Uendi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/uendi/) * (@uendi) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-changes-dont-work-1/#post-5284812) * Change to : * #rpwe_widget-2 .rpwe-block ul li .rpwe-time{ color: #xxx; font-size: 11px; } * If still not work, add in !important and clear page cache. * [Nitrat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nitrat/) * (@nitrat) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-changes-dont-work-1/#post-5284813) * Wow – this works! Thanks) * Thread Starter [TheRiz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theriz/) * (@theriz) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-changes-dont-work-1/#post-5284818) * This works for styling for now. * If I use this widget in the subsidary menu (footer) it used to display inline with another widget. * Now it displays stacked…it appears underneath the first widget instead of to the right. I tried adding CSS such as display:inline or display: inline block and nothing seems to work (unless I am using the wrong CSS code). * I am using hack CSS to push it there but sometimes it displays improperly as I have it set to display random posts. * I am grabbing the correct widget by using its CSS ID as well. * Any ideas?
