 * Hello,
 * First We (me and my friends) like your plugin.
    look this link: [http://beginfromhere.com/site/directory/](http://beginfromhere.com/site/directory/)
 * As you can see, there is a big empty place. How is that possible to keep the 
   4 buttons ( Submit A listing, View Listings, Directory and search bar) on the
   same line? if not, maybe is better to remove (Submit A Listing) button ?
 * Best regards

 * Hi beginfromhere,
 * Sorry that you ran into issues here!
 * If by “big empty space” you’re referring to the layout issues with the buttons
   and field for the Quick Search Bar–yes, I agree that’s not ideal.
 * Something like that is best adjusted through custom CSS. You’ll probably want
   to change the button sizes, the text size or the field size (or all three) to
   compensate in a way that makes sense with your theme. Our CSS tries to do a good
   job but it can only go so far…
 * Here is an article about how to use custom CSS with Business Directory in a way
   that doesn’t get overwritten on upgrade of BD: [http://businessdirectoryplugin.com/support-forum/faq/how-to-use-custom-styles-with-bd-2-1/](http://businessdirectoryplugin.com/support-forum/faq/how-to-use-custom-styles-with-bd-2-1/)
 * Try that and let me know if you run into more issues.

 * Thank you for your help. I followed the steps to make a custom CSS file and add
   it to the root of plugin folder in wrodpress. When I add any CSS modification
   in the file, this doesn’t take effect, why ? can you give me as example, one 
   CSS line to add it to the custom CSS file (maybe change button colour), just 
   to test if it works properly?
 * By the way, if we want to buy your rating plugin, do you have an option to have
   a button, so when we click on we will see the listings by Rating, from the most
   rated and so on ?

 * The CSS you need to put in the file varies depending on:
    – The element you’re
   changing – What your theme adds to the HTML DOM element hierarchy – What is available
   either in classes or IDs to target
 * It would help to know what you tried, specifically.
 * Remember that CSS changes won’t appear right away if you have a caching plugin
   installed or your web host does caching. Also, your browser may cache things 
   as well. You’ll want to confirm that you’re not seeing old data by using Incognito
   Mode or a Private Browser window to get the latest version of the page.
