Title: Css code changes when the plugin is disabled Last modified: August 25, 2019 --- # Css code changes when the plugin is disabled * Resolved [test484848484](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tellyboxcasting/) * (@tellyboxcasting) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-code-changes-when-the-plugin-is-disabled/) * Hi there, * I have a problem specifically with the blog page on my website. * When I turn off the plugin, the css is different to the rest of the website, as if it has excluded the css from aspects of the page. * However, when I turn it on the page css is fine again. * Is there any cause for this and how can I fix it?
