 * Hey there. When I apply a custom css to my page, I see it flash quickly then 
   get overwritten quickly by the defaults. Here is the page :
 * [http://006.6c2.myftpupload.com/a-day-at-the-museum/](http://006.6c2.myftpupload.com/a-day-at-the-museum/)
 * HEre is the CSS in the CSS section added by the plugin:
 * body {
    background-image: url(“[http://006.6c2.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/cropped-mbadam.jpg&#8221](http://006.6c2.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/cropped-mbadam.jpg&#8221););
   background-color: #cccccc; }
 * Whatever I put there works for a quick nanosecond then gets over written. any
   ideas?

 * Hello,
    I can’t find that css in your page source, it seems that you’ve removed
   it. I can only assume that your theme or another plugin were overriding your 
   custom css rules, in that case a more specific css rule may help, something like:
 *     ```
       body.page-id-112 {
       background-image: url("http://006.6c2.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/cropped-mbadam.jpg");
       background-color: #cccccc;
       }
       ```
   
 * If this still gets overridden you could try this:
 *     ```
       body.page-id-112 {
       background-image: url("http://006.6c2.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/cropped-mbadam.jpg") !important;
       background-color: #cccccc !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Best,
    Daniele
