    good plugin with a poorly written css of using !important everywhere. when I’m using widget I can remove them through settings. but when using shortcode there is no way to override some style. even if I use !important, the plugins css over ride mine.

    can’t understand why A plugin author ll use this & stop the opportunity to customize the look.

    I agree that those “!important” shouldn’t be there, it makes it impossible to override. The only way is to completely remove all the plugin’s styles, and add your own custom styles. It’s all or nothing.

    So the suggestion to the plugin author is to remove those !important declarations. Does that make sense ?

    Thank you.

    In the readme.txt

    = How to add custom style? =
    First, please uncheck the **Use Default Style** option then place the css code below in the Custom CSS box, then you can customize it to fit your needs

    Now, if only we knew where to uncheck that option from…

    Well, that was easy. Each widget has an option to use the default CSS, and it’s very own custom css option, per widget.

    I do agree that the use of !important complicates things though.
