# CSS Star Rating Display Issue

 * After updating to 4.1.3 of the Testimonials Basics plugin, using the CSS based
   star rating system seems to have Chinese characters displayed instead of stars.
   This only happened once I updated to the new version of plugin.
 * Please advise on how I can correct it? (it seems to show stars if I uncheck CSS
   based star rating option).

 * Hi jmeckler
 * Sorry I’m so late. I will look into the css star problem….it is showing the characters
   because something is wrong with the font reference.

 * Can you give me your website address?
 * My test site is working fine so there must be something in your theme’s css that
   is causing it.
 * What theme are you using?

 * The site I’m working on is using Steamify theme with a Kangaroo control panel
   i believe.
 * URL to testimonials is:

 * I’d really like to have that CSS issue resolved because jquery stars don’t show
   up on mobile theme they have installed.
 * I have temporarily put back the CSS Stars so you can see. It was working fine
   with the last version of Testimonials Basics so there must be a conflict with
   the code in latest update?
 * Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 * Just flushed cache and it is resolved. I tried before. I wonder if it needed 
   time after the plugin update to be able to set itself to proper CSS Stars.
 * Thanks for the reply though!

 * Hi,
    Could you tell me how to make the stars a slightly darker shade of grey 
   in the input form before they have been chosen. At present because of my site
   colors you can only see the little – next to them (they blend in to the background)
   but if I change the star bg css it creates a block around the stars (i just want
   the stars to be alittle darker grey) Thanks a lot for any help. Jon
