 * Hello…I installed Custom Sidebar, and its great…However, I noticed that it is
   not using any of the CSS style from my current Theme…
 * I tried to research this topic, but am still abit confused on what to do, and
   why its lacks the style.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 * Thanks.

 * Hi [@wpdragon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpdragon/)
 * It should get css from your current theme. In case, if it doesn’t happen you 
   can use !important in the css to force it.
 * Would you please share me a link of your site, so that I can check?
 * Cheers

 * Hi [@ashok](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashok/) – thank you for the response…
   I am actually working on the site locally, so its not live.
 * Where would I actually put !important in the CSS?

 * The CSS style on the “Custom Sidebar” does not seem to work on any pages…however,
   all the other regular sidebars on other pages work fine.
 * > <div class=”sidebar”>
   >  <?php /* Widget Area */ if ( !function_exists( ‘dynamic_sidebar’)
   > || !dynamic_sidebar(‘Game Post Sidebar’) ) ?> </div> <div class=”clear”></div
   > >
 * Above is the code that is on my php file..example: (single.php) & (single-custom-
   page.php) — depending on the name of the Sidebar I place the appropriate name–
   in this case I have a Custom Sidebar called ‘Game Post Sidebar’
 * Im not sure if that helps…but I do not know why only the Custom Sidebar is not
   picking up the style of the pages….however all the regular sidebars are fine.

   thanks.

 * Hello [@wpmu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmu/) DEV
 * Thank you very much for your reply…I actually found an alternative way to include
   sidebars…so, I am taking a different route. The theme was actually purchased 
   from ThemeForest.
 * Thanks again.
