# CSS Styling Not Working

 * Hello,
 * I currently have a locally set-up website using XAMPP. I am using the latest 
   version of SmartMag from Themeforest. All of my theme sidebars are working 100%
   fine. The problem occurs when I create any new ‘custom’ sidebar, via this plug-
   in. The widgets will display, but they are missing the Theme’s CSS Styling. I
   specifically want one ‘custom’ sidebar on a bbPress Forum page that I have created,
   but the styling is so bland and messy that it just isn’t presentable. Perhaps
   the styling won’t transfer on locally set-up sites? Maybe I have an option wrong?
   I followed the documentation of both the plug-in and the theme documentation 
   for setting it up.
 * Any help will be much appreciated! 🙂

 * Hi [@michaelr12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelr12/),
 * Sorry to hear of the problem you are having. The plugin is working fine on my
   test site.
 * Could you please share some screenshots of the issue so that we can better understand
   it?
 * For screenshots, you can simply provide a link to an image through Google Drive,
   Dropbox, screencast.com, [http://imgur.com/](http://imgur.com/) or other image
   service. 🙂
 * This can be due to plugin/theme conflict on your site.
 * You can just try on your development site using default WordPress theme like 
   Twenty Fifteen and deactivating all other plugins as displayed in the following
   flowchart to know which theme/plugin is conflicting if any.

 * If it’s the theme conflict issue then could you please send me the SmartMag theme
   that you are using on the email id contact[at]wpmudev.org so that i can troubleshoot
   it?

 * Hi Vinod!
 * I tried deactivating my plug-ins and I found the culprit. It appears that I had
   a fixed widget plug-in that was conflicting the CSS styling on custom sidebars.
 * Thank you for your quick and professional reply!
 * 🙂
