# Plugin not finding custom CSS

 * I’ve installed your plugin (which our rescue group loves, so thank you) but I’m
   trying to override the default styles from Petfinder to something a little more
   inline with our theme. But for some reason it is not finding the called css and
   it’s classes at all. I’ve tried it with multiple themes (placing it where their
   css files are located), several selectors—”pets”, “dog”, “description”, etc. 
   and it’s just not working.
 * I’ve noticed that it’s pulling different styles for the dogs’ profiles from Petfinder
   and am wondering if it’s doing this because Petfinder is using inline styles?
   So we tried the !Important property to no avail also. We’re missing something
   simple but crucial.
 * Any help you could provide would be great!

 * Hi,
 * My plugin uses one CSS file found in /your-plugins-folder/petfinder-listings/
   petfinder.css. This file has very limited CSS that you can override by adding
   styles to your own CSS. Depending on the order your CSS files load in your theme,
   you can either override the styles by using the same selectors, or use !important
   at the end of the CSS definition. Don’t override the styles in the petfinder.
   css file or you won’t be able to update my plugin without overwriting your changes.
 * If you have Firefox or Chrome, the Firebug add-on should help you see what CSS
   is used and what CSS is being overridden. I hope this helps.
 * Bridget
