    AAARGH. No amount of CSS styling seems to affect the sidebar twitter widget.

    I’m using hl-twitter widget to display tweets in a sidebar.
    See the page here: http://kingscott.com/testwpsite/

    Theme: Fusion
    Widget: hl-twitter-widget

    Google Chrome inspects and SOME of the CSS is called from the styles.css, but not enough. I just want to add a light line between tweets. and make the “1 day ago have “no decoration”.
    Any ideas on how these styles are going awry?

    Thanks, Joe

    try to add something like this at the end of style.css of your theme:

    .widget_hl_twitter_widget li { border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd; }
.widget_hl_twitter_widget li span.meta a { text-decoration: none; }

    I fixed it. the CSS was not coded correctly.

    Hi Joe,
    Very sorry I’ve only just seen your post, I’m subscribed to hl-twitter tags but not this one for some reason.
    I’d be really grateful if you could say what was wrong with the CSS and how I can improve it in future versions? Also, if you needed to change a lot of HTML/CSS you can copy the hl_twitter_widget.php file to your regular theme directory and edit it there. HL Twitter will automatically detect you have a copy in your theme and use that one.
    Again, sorry for causing any inconvenience.

    It was my fault with the CSS, not yours… the call to the CSS selector had such a long string I was missing the inheritance. all those ul li ul li .widget ul li ul li things get very confusing.

    Thanks for responding.
