# CSS Class Request

 * First off, thanks for your time and skills in developing this plugin.
 * With the theme I’m working with, when I added the shortcode on a page, the testimonial
   footer background color inherited the theme’s footer background color.
 * On the page: ivycat-ajax-testimonials/ivycat-ajax-testimonials.php
    I saw the`
   <div class="ict-content">` where the text can be styled. Awesome. But… I needed
   to remove the inherited background color… and… reposition/style the testimonial
   title: i.e. `<cite>` So I ended up adding two classes to the `<footer>` and `
   <cite>` tags such as: `<footer class="testimonial-footer">` & `<cite class="testimonial-
   cite">` respectively. Which… resolved my background color problem, and other 
   styling requirements.
 * I know that any update will totally wipe this out, so I was wondering if it was
   possible to add special class names to these tags in a future release?
 * I haven’t read where others have run into a similar snag, but I hope this might
   help someone else if they do. And maybe there was an easier solution, but I needed
   a quick band-aid, bubble-gum and bailing-wire fix.
 * It really is a great plugin, and totally did what I need it to do.
 * My above long-winded comment is merely a request. I already noted my CSS additions
   in case of any future updates.
 * Thanks again.

 * Hey teamlovedesign,
 * Thanks for the request and the nice review!
 * I’ve had that exact same thing happen; inheriting of styles to header and footer.
   Rather than adding additional classes, though, I’d use the CSS cascade to target
   the header and footer inside the testimonial block.
 * So, instead of doing something like:
 *     ```
       .testimonial-footer {
       	background: #fff;
       }
       ```
   
 * you might be able to do this:
 *     ```
       #ivycat-testimonial footer {
       	background: #fff;
       }
       ```
   
 * This makes use of the ID inserted by the plugin without having to add classes.
 * Note: if you turn AJAX off, the ID is `#ivycat-testimonial-static`.
