# CSS Styling, Customizer is Ignored, “.wrap” is Restrictive

 * I have been trying for a very long time to change any of the styling for the 
   Maintenance Mode page displayed to visitors. This plugin is advertised as being“
   Fully Customizable”; however it does not allow for almost any customization.
 * **I need to have a larger (100%) wrapper instead of the tiny 605px offered in
   the _.wrap_ tag.**
 * Why can’t the CSS in Customizer be used or at the very least the restrictive 
   style in _.wrap_ be removed from the code so we can create our own style in the“
   text” editor section? It would be better if the style in custom CSS along with
   the plugin style was loaded; why is our default styling ignored with this plugin?
 * I even removed/edited the CSS rules from the plugin itself and for some reason
   it keeps being added back in. I cleared cache, turned off minification, etc.
 * Any help or assurance that these improvements will be made soon would be appreciated
   or else I will have to just redirect to my own custom page.

 * Hello,
 * 1. Yes, the plugin is not using the CSS setting from the WordPress built-in Theme
   Customizer because it would be confusing. The maintenance mode page has nothing
   to do with the website’s theme; it’s independent.
 * 2. The plugin is developer-friendly, there are many WordPress hooks, and you 
   can use them to embed your own CSS files if necessary.
    [https://github.com/WP-Maintenance-Mode/Snippet-Library/blob/master/enqueue-css-files.php](https://github.com/WP-Maintenance-Mode/Snippet-Library/blob/master/enqueue-css-files.php)
 * 3. If you don’t have experience with WordPress hooks, you can also edit `/wp-
   maintenance-mode/assets/css/style.min.css` (or `/wp-maintenance-mode/assets/css/
   style.css` if SCRIPT_DEBUG constant is set to true in `wp-config.php`). After
   that, a hard refresh should clear your browser’s cache.
 * 4. If you want to change the HTML, you can override the template: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-allow-overriding-templates/#post-12025524](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-allow-overriding-templates/#post-12025524)
 * 5. The plugin will have a custom CSS setting. Probably in v2.4.0. No ETA, though.
   It’s a free side project, and we add new features only when we have some free
   time.
