 * We are using the Toolset Types plugin to add custom fields to our editing screens(
   among other things).
 * The form fields it adds have the generic class `form-item` and your plugin is
   applying CSS rules inappropriately, making the custom fields unusable. See screenshot:

 * Please scope the CSS more specifically to your plugin so it doesn’t interfere
   with other plugins’ output. Thanks!

 * Hi there,
 * Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention. We are now working on
   scoping the CSS more specifically to our plugin and this will be part of our 
   next release.
 * We’ll reach out to the email address you gave when creating your account to inform
   you of when it becomes available.
 * Kind regards,
 * The Bibblio Team
