 * Is there any way to overide the UM css.
 * We’re trying to make some small css changes in our child theme style but most
   are not working because the UM css seems to take priority over our css.
 * Any help would be appreciated.

 * Hi. Are you using the **!important** declaration in your CSS on the object you
   are trying to affect?

 * In some cases yes. Ins ome cases no. But either way its being pretty random. 
   If we put !Important sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.

 * You might consider putting the CSS inline on the element (I really hate suggesting
   that, but it’s an option). You could also use JQuery/Javascript to affect the
   styling on page load.
