how not to lose css tweaks with regular updating of widget

Hi sionlanini,

It is good to hear you like the plugin. So far there have only been two changes to the html/css structure of the plugin. One of these was early on to make all class names unique (not prefixed with k, kcontainer, kmeta, etc). The second was actually yesterday and there is no mention in the changelog (error by me) which updated the language to be US English which included a class name change to one of the Twitter Intent links (from kfavourite to kfavorite).

There should be no more structural changes, now our classes will never clash with any themes and the layout/structure matches the Twitter display guidelines.

However, just like when we first changed the css classes, we will make a big effort to make you aware of incomming changes ahead of time. If we made another structural change I think we would notify you inside the plugin that the change was coming in a week or so and on this forum, as well as in the changelog.

We have a section which lists the general HTML structure and CSS classes here, however it has not been updated for the US English change. The .kmedia part only gets output in List view and if the Tweet has media attached.

Alernatively, if you were comfortable with PHP, you could use the inbuilt function ‘kebo_twitter_get_tweets()’ to manually retreive the Tweet data and output it into your own HTML/CSS structure.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your reply. I think I will just edit the CSS inside the plugin as per your first suggestion.

Thanks again for your help,

Sion

I think I misunderstood part of your question so to clarify, you would be best off adding your own custom CSS to your theme, which adds to and/or overwrites our CSS (feel free to post here if you have any questions/problems with that).

When WordPress updates plugins, they are first deleted and then the new files copied in. This means that any custom edits to the files will be lost every time the plugin updates.

If you are at risk with the same happening to your theme, as any updates will also overwrite changes you make, then you can use a plugin like Simple Custom CSS to add your own custom CSS, indepdendantly of Theme/Plugin updates.

I don’t want you to work hard customising your site to find it all lost one day!

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your email and for your concern. I was using a custom CSS with a child theme, but it didn’t seem to be working.

It turns out the CSS I wanted to change was actually related to the theme and not the plugin, so I got there in the end anyway.

Thanks again and keep up the good work!

I have the same issues. Whenever I update Kebo twitter it breaks all styles and often function. It is used on 4 sites (https://leftfield-entertainment.com for example)
I manage. I have good backups so just revert the plugin.
What specific files to I need to upload to restore the function and appearance?
/CSS/plugin.css?
/views/list.php?
/views/slider.php?

anything in /inc ?

Right now I sticking with various old versions on sites as they work and display correctly, but I would like to be able to update.

Thanks in advance,
Jeremy Hooper
