# [Plugin: Flexible Posts Widget] Styling Issues

 * I know this is probably simple CSS somewhere, but I have no real idea where to
   find the solution in all the code.
 * I want to use the Flexible Post Widget because I show the last 5 posts on my 
   main page, so I want the Widget to show the next 5 in the sidebar, that part 
   works just fine.
 * My problem is with the styling, I can’t seem to get the style to be the same 
   as the other lists in the sidebar which are default widgets. I managed to scale
   down the side by removing the h4 references in the widget.php, but I can’t get
   it to match the Color, no underline, and arrow as the bullet in the list like
   the recent posts, pages, categories and every other list widget that is going
   into the sidebar.
 * While you say that the widget doesn’t do any styling, I feel like it’s doing 
   something to strip out any intended style that would be carrying over from the
   overall CSS on the site.
 * I searched out in the main Styles.css to find any mention of “.widget.widget_recent_entries
   ul li” or “.widget.widget_pages” and added in bits for “.widget.widget_dpe_fp_widget”
   hoping that would solve the problem, but it hasn’t helped at all.
 * Any advice would be helpful.

 * Hi BosGuy123,
 * FPW doesn’t add any styles to the public site at all. However, not all themes
   take into account widgets that are added by 3rd-party plugins. I can’t really
   give you a one-size-fits all solution as every theme uses a different styling
   system.
 * If you are comfortable writing your own styles using CSS, you can always edit
   your theme’s stylesheet or create a child-theme to work in. Otherwise, you’d 
   probably be better off hiring a designer/front end developer to tackle it for
   you.
 * Sorry I can’t be of more specific help.
