How custom styles are affected by version updates

  • I had used the Style menu option under the ConnectDaily menu to modify the styling, but later noticed the custom styling was gone. I have wordpress setup to automatically install all plugin updates. Is it possible that customizations made on this screen are overwritten when the plugin updates are applied? If so, can you suggest any other way to apply customizations to the CSS in a way that will be preserved while still allowing automatic plugin updates?

    As a sidebar question, most of the CSS changes I made were seemingly caused by the Divi wordpress theme. I had to add “!important” attributes to several tags in the ConnectDaily CSS, otherwise Divi’s styling was overriding the ConnectDaily CSS, causing the Next/Prev calendar nav icons to not be displayed on mobile devices. Perhaps I took the wrong approach entirely? I appreciate any insights.

    I would recommend any CSS customizations be done using the WordPress customizers.

    You bring up a good point about our CSS customizer. When we created the plugin there was no straight-forward way to customize CSS. With WordPress 4.x, they added teh customizer which really is the best way to use it.

    I’ve made a note to remove our CSS Customizer, or at least rename it to “CSS Explorer” and make it read-only.

    Thanks for letting me know the plugin update worked.
