 * Hi
 * The Bootstrap column classes in the SJB public CSS file are conflicting with 
   our theme CSS and breaking all the page layouts.
 * Could you prefix all the row and column classes in this CSS file with ‘.sjb-page‘
   so they only get applied to the content relevant to the plugin?
 * Thanks

 * Hello [@steveboj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/steveboj/),
 * Can you please share your site URL where you are facing this CSS conflict so 
   we can further assist you. As we have generically styled the Job Board sections
   using main class **‘sjb-page’**. So, it should not be conflicted with the theme.
 * Also, make sure, you are using the latest version of the Job Board.
 * Thanks for reaching us out.
 * Regards,

 * Hi PressTigers
 * I’m using Simple Job Board v2.4.5. My site is currently in dev, so I’m not able
   to share the URL. The theme I’m using is Uncode.
 * The file simple-job-board-public.css includes Bootstrap row and col classes. 
   These classes over-ride the Bootstrap row and col classes in the theme.
 * You can avoid this by prefixing all the row and col classes in simple-job-board-
   public.css with ‘.sjb-page ‘. Please look at lines 223 to 852 of that CSS file
   and you’ll see they are not currently prefixed.
 * Many thanks

 * Hello [@steveboj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/steveboj/),
 * We have used built-in bootstrap classes with their style. We did not customize
   the Bootstrap style in our plugin. It seems it’s your theme style conflict with
   the Job Board or wrapper classes not added in your theme’s style.
 * Thanks & Regards,

 * Hi PressTigers
 * Yes, the theme has customised bootstrap – which it are perfectly entitled to 
   do.
 * Plugin developers are encouraged to ‘Prefix Everything’, so they don’t conflict
   with anything they’re not meant to = [https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/the-basics/best-practices/](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/the-basics/best-practices/)
 * Please can you consider prefixing those classes on your next release? It would
   solve this issue and make it possible for anyone to use your plugin with any 
   theme that includes a customised Bootstrap.
 * Many thanks
