* On my website, the important updates section uses the plugin. There is currently
pink color on the post titles and a poor layout. I want to use CSS to change
the colors, the font style, and the layout.
* I’m using the Hello Elementor theme and editing the style.css file but nothing
changes. Asking for some assistance in getting more insight on which file I should
edit in the theme and what classes I should use to accomplish what’s needed.
* The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcustom-css-279%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
to see the link]_

* Dear [@hughfordb123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hughfordb123/) .
Thank
you for reaching out. There are several reasons why the style modification is
not taken. It depends on how the system is developed and finally which style
is higher ranked. The hierarchy is the key. A good starting point to understand
is this article [https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_specificity.asp](https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_specificity.asp).
You should try not to use `!important`, for example. And to define the selector
for the style as best as possible. Please understand, further support for styling
is out of my scope. I hope you understand. Thank you for using Recent Posts Widget

* Hi,
It is quite interesting to note that several websites could very well have
the same HTML code but their styling or CSS is what would make them different!
Talking about CSS in particular, graphic designer displays their creativity through
it. Not only does it give the web designer control over the appearance of the
web pages but also aids in creating a visual hierarchy through parameters like
shape, color, space, and size.
* Refer to this code:
