# Plugin keeps erasing CSS pseudo selectors – properties & values

 * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-keeps-erasing-css-pseudo-selectors-properties-values/)
 * I added the following custom CSS to the page,
 *     ```
       .valueNumber {
       	position: relative;
       	background: #d2d2d2;
       	border: 4px solid #d2d2d2;
       }
       .valueNumber:after {
       	content: " ";
       	position: absolute;
       	height: 0;
       	width: 0;
       	right: 100%;
       	top: 50%;
       	border: solid transparent;
       	pointer-events: none;
       	border-color: #d2d2d2;
       	border-color: rgba(210, 210, 210, 0);
       	border-right-color: #d2d2d2;
       	border-width: 20px;
       	margin-top: -20px;
       }
       .valueNumber:before {
       	content: " ";
       	position: absolute;
       	height: 0;
       	width: 0;
       	right: 100%;
       	top: 50%;
       	border: solid transparent;
       	pointer-events: none;
       	border-color: #d2d2d2;
       	border-color: rgba(210, 210, 210, 0);
       	border-right-color: #d2d2d2;
       	border-width: 26px;
       	margin-top: -26px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Each time the plugin would erase the above CSS code and it shouldn’t be doing
   that. I had to abandon using pseudo selectors in the plugin and add them via 
   the theme Custom CSS instead.
 * Is there an intentional limitation coded into this plugin to keep us from adding
   certain custom CSS that we want?

 * Hey [@mwarbinek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mwarbinek/),
 * I just tried adding the same snippet under **Tools**(top left corner right where
   the BB logo is) **> Layout CSS/JS > CSS** on our dev site and it works just fine,
   i.e., it was still intact after publishing and refreshing the page a few times.
 * Do you mind sharing where you added the snippet? 🙂

 * In the page Custom CSS layout via the plugin, “CSS Layout & Javascript”.

 * Hey [@mwarbinek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mwarbinek/),
 * So you’re using the plugin **CSS Layout & Javascript** to add the CSS? Have you
   tried getting in touch with their support instead? We’re not really familiar 
   with how their plugin works or coded. 🙂

 * Confusing, when I did not correctly type the actual menu label, — Sorry.
 * Its your custom CSS module, “Layout CSS & Javascript”. This is the in-page custom
   CSS, it is not the theme custom CSS in customizer.

 * Hey [@mwarbinek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mwarbinek/),
 * No worries at all! I just tried adding the snippet you shared again on our dev
   server and it saves just fine. Do you think you can do a screen recording of 
   the issue happening, upload it somewhere like Dropbox and share the link here
   so we can check? 🙂

 * This is inconsistent. The issue is there, now it isn’t. That is one thing I keep
   experiencing with the plugin, something won’t work no matter what I do or change
   and days later it clears itself and all works (except the margin issue that works
   as padding instead, that remains).
 * So I suppose this issue took a holiday, no idea when it will be back (hopefully
   never).
 * Thanks

 * Hey [@mwarbinek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mwarbinek/),
 * That sounds like a caching issue. Let us know if it keeps on happening so we 
   can dig deeper. 🙂

 * That would be the server then, because I did clean the cache of the browser at
   the time and the issue did not go away. The WordPress site is a bare minimum 
   setup, no caching plugins. Now that it resolved itself, caching at the server
   does refresh itself after a period of time.
