 * Dear Support,
 * Since your last update, when I write a css line with a double underscore into
   a class, it doesn’t work.
 * for exemple :
    .entry-minimal__title {width : 50%}. When I change the width, 
   no effect ; If I do the modification into the Custom CSS page from the theme,
   it works.
 * Regards,
    Rackham

 * Hello Rackham,
 * it could be that the CSS rule is overridden by another later or more specific
   CSS rule. Would you please try `.entry-minimal__title {width : 50% !important;}`
   for your example? See [this article](https://marksheet.io/css-priority.html) 
   for more details about CSS priority and specificity.

 * Dear Diana,
 * Thanks for your reply.
 * Before to come here, I have also tried with !important but it doesn’t work. I
   know a little bit Css priority and specificity.
    It seems to be really a pb with
   double underscore. Other css changes are allright. And before the last update
   no pb.

 * Would you open your homepage’s HTML and search for the “.entry-minimal__title”
   CSS rule? Is the CSS rule printed alright in the HTML or are there any characters
   modified?

 * Dear Diana,
 * I took a look. In <head>, the CSS added by the plugin is printed alright, no 
   characters modified, double underscore are present without something missed or
   added.
    It’s “bizarre” it doesn’t work.
 * For the moment, I use also the custom css page avalaible from the theme preferences.
   I will make some try and reinstall the plugin if necessary.

 * Reinstalling the plugin will not help. If the plugin printed your CSS rule without
   modifying it, then it did its job perfectly.
 * Do you have a link so I can have a look at your website?
 * I still assume that the rule is overridden somewhere. Try modifying other properties,
   for example the color or border:
 *     ```
       .entry-minimal__title {
         width : 50% !important;
         color: red;
         border: 1px solid blue;
         background-color: green;
       }
       ```
   
 * If your element does change color, has a border OR gets a background color, it
   means that the width property is being overridden by another CSS rule with a 
   higher priority or specificity.
