 * See the most read stories at the bottom of the page – this is after updating 
   to 4.2.1 (staging site), and note the broken formatting.
 * The live site (michaelwest.com.au) is on version 4.1.1.
 * The site uses DIVI, and the list is using shortcodes within 4 columns as follows(
   using Custom CSS for Left thumbnails)
 * [tptn_list limit=”1″ show_excerpt=”1″ how_old=”14″]
 * [tptn_list limit=”1″ offset=”1″ show_excerpt=”1″ how_old=”14″]
 * etc.
 * It appears that the changes are related to using Flex for the <li> tag and other
   chages to the .tptn-left-thumbs class.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcss-changes-in-plugin-breaks-formatting%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Please could you add this to your custom styles tab. The style you’re using is“
   left thumbs” which is why the plugin is trying to do that. However, in you case
   we don’t need to flex it.
 *     ```
       .tptn-left-thumbs ul li {
         display: block;
       }
       ```

 * Thanks for the quick response, Ajay. That fixes the issue with positioning (after
   adding !important). However, the featured image is incorrectly adjusted still–
   appears to be an inline CSS for .tptn-left-thumbs that forces the height and 
   aspect ratio.

 * Please can you check what you have for the Thumbnail Height and Width settings
   under the Settings > Thumbnail tab.
 * It should be 800×500 if I’m not mistaken, but is it larger?

 * Thanks. 800×500 is not an option, but set to 1080×675 (same aspect ratio) and
   haven’t changed it after the update.

 * Correction, can set to 800×500, of course, and have done that. No change.

 * Thanks for setting this – I just realised I know what the problem is. There is
   an unintentional bug in the thumbnail css which uses important and it shouldn’t.
   I’ll fix this in the next release
 * Can you please also add this to the styles page:
 *     ```
       .tptn-left-thumbs img.tptn_thumb { height: auto !important; }
       ```
