Custom CSS not overriding plugin's CSS?

    I’ve gotten some custom styles to work by using the Custom CSS plugin but not everything gets overridden.

    I hate to mess with the actual style sheet.

    Developer hasn’t responded on this forum, so does anyone else have luck changing the styles, especially when the event list is in a widget?

    Thanks in advance…

    Here’s my workaround, in case it’s helpful to anyone. I’m not a developer, so you may wish to point out something easier. 🙂

    1. I use the Simple Custom CSS plugin, and so I copied the entire CSS for the plugin (it’s only about 140 lines or so) into the editor (Appearance-Custom CSS). Save.

    2. Then I went to the Event List-Settings page. I chose the tab called Frontend Settings.

    3. At the bottom is the label Disable CSS file. I clicked on the checkbox next to “Disable the “event-list.css” file.” Save Changes.

    4. Then I went back to the Custom CSS and manipulated the elements there.

    Voila, works great. Although there seem to be some classes/elements not defined in the plugin’s CSS (like “event-location”??). I’m still working on that but thought I would share a hack. I also think this should hold if the plugin is updated and I don’t want to lose my style. (Though I would have to inspect the new CSS file to verify I wasn’t now missing anything important.)
