 * I have a minor display error on my directory display. I have used firebug to 
   determine the element that needs to be fixed. I have created a custom style css
   file under wp-content/plugins. However, I am not exactly sure how to make the
   url image disappear.
 * 1. Website: [http://plant-resources.biz](http://plant-resources.biz) the display
   error shows on the ad displays by having in image url show in the description
   area.
 * 2. the element that needs to be fixed: <div class=”field-value wpbdp-field-businessdescription
   content “> It is currently “url(images/content_topbg.gif) repeat-x top;
    border-
   top: 2px solid #efefef;”
 * This is what I tried: .field-value wpbdp-field-businessdescription content {background-
   image: none;} I tried a couple of variations, but none of them worked.
 * What am I not coding correctly? Thanks so much.

 * Hi eonelson,
 * First, have you correctly installed a custom CSS file to override the CSS used
   by BD? Here is an article about how to use custom CSS with Business Directory
   in a way that doesn’t get overwritten on upgrade of BD: [http://businessdirectoryplugin.com/support-forum/faq/how-to-use-custom-styles-with-bd-2-1/](http://businessdirectoryplugin.com/support-forum/faq/how-to-use-custom-styles-with-bd-2-1/)
 * Once you have that file in the right place with the right name, you can verify
   that things are working by overriding something in there and it should take effect.
   If it’s not, double-check your naming and location.
 * If that’s not working, then report back and we’ll go from there.

 * Thanks for your reply. I created the following file: wpbdp_custom_style.css and
   located it in: Plantresources: wp-content: plugins as was instructed in the article.
   I’m not sure how to verify it because I don’t know how to code what I need to
   do —
 * If you check the page as linked [to here](http://www.plant-resources.biz/business-directory/wpbdm-category/nursery_wholesale/)
   you will see that there is a gray bar in the center of the listing. I used firebug
   to see how it is coded (see first message) I don’t know how to add the code to
   the custom style folder to remove it. I’m not great at coding so this is where
   I need the help.
 * Thanks.

 * Update: I finally got it. I had it in the right place but couldn’t and could 
   see my new coding in firebug but couldn’t figure out how to get it to over ride
   the initial coding. When I used !important with the new coding it worked.
 * Perseverance and reading lots of help chats I find on line finally made things
   click.
 * Thanks.

 * Hi eonelson,
 * Glad you got it! Yes, the !important tag is necessary sometimes depending on 
   how your theme styles certain elements. We try to avoid using it ourselves as
   it can’t be overridden which is the whole point of the CSS override file. 🙂
