Good but restrictive CSS

    I’m really happy with it, because it does exactly what it says.

    It’s disappointing because of it’s lack of configuration options for the front end. For some reason the developer has decided to add !important tags to every possible css property. I guess you can just edit the plugin file directly, but then you’ve gotta disable updates or else you’ll have problems down the track. I just resulted to using css filters to get the result I wanted without ctrl+f ing the css file.

    Hi @lawsonair,

    Thank you for your opinion!

    The !important property you can override with more long CSS selectors and !important keyword. Please let us know if you have any issues here.

    Thanks!

    Ok so do something like .grw-row > .insert_class {insert_property: insert_value!important;…} or assign whatever parent class to a container and always use it to call it’s child elements?

    Are you trying to avoid styling set in the theme?

    Hi @lawsonair,

    Yes, that’s right, we try to avoid styles set in the theme, because often, very often, it looks like a nightmare, since not all developers understand what global styles are.

    On the other hand, you are right that the widget should use the theme style, if of course this is done correctly and in the future we plan to make an option that would allow us to disable overwriting our styles.

    Thanks!
