Changed styling

  • I have to say that I am very disappointed, when a plug-in author is changing the way that there are styling the plugin.

    I had made some slight changes to the styling of the plugin so that it was fitting in with the rest of my theme. But now I can start all over again, wasted time!

    I really like your plug-in, but why do you put your CSS inside your PHP file? I know I can opt for not having the CSS show, but still you have it inline and loading everytime I load the widget.

    Please – just for another time, CSS separate from PHP.

    Hi bestpowder,

    Sorry for the inconvenience and your disappointment.

    The reason the css is in the php file is because we need to get the id of the weather widget in case there are multiple widgets displayed on one page, and even if the css was in its own file it would still be overwritten by any updates to the plugin.

    If you want to use your own styling, the best way is to put any of your own css in your themes style.css with !important on all of the rules this would then be used over the plugins styles and not be overwritten by plugin updates, but still might be on theme updates if you aren’t using a child theme.

    Again, sorry for the inconvenience.
