# CSS when using shortcode instead of widget

 * Hoping someone can help – when I use this as a widget, all displays nicely and
   fits with the CSS of my WP theme.
 * However, when I use the [testimonialswidget_list] shortcode, it displays with
   horribly tiny, out of theme text, as shown on [http://jump-online.com.au/testimonials/](http://jump-online.com.au/testimonials/).
 * Where can I edit the CSS for this? And if I do so, will it be overwritten if 
   I update the plugin?
 * Thanks in advance

 * I have worked it out, now just to work out how to hide the broken image looking
   quote marks – even though I have quote marks turned off in the settings, the 
   weird misaligned images still display?

 * Somehow the testimonials content wrappers are replaced with `code` tags than `
   blockquote`. Get the default tags in there and it should be fine.

 * Thanks Michael, I suspected that was the problem but for some reason every time
   I remove them and save, they still come back! Something to do with the theme 
   I’m using and the Turbo Editor it uses I presume – any ideas as to a workaround?

 * Nevermind, fiddled around with the finicky editor and found a workaround – thanks
   for your help!
