 * I like the way the plugin looks without the site’s theme overriding it.
 * Is there a way to prevent the theme from taking over (without marking every css
   as !important?)
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ftheme-overriding-plugin-css%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * The plugin is designed to use the site theme’s CSS as much as possible to make
   the calendar blend in with the rest of the site, so there’s not an automatic 
   way to force any sort of “plugin default” appearance. (There really _isn’t_ a
   plugin default appearance for things like fonts.)

 * I edited the style.min.cs and changed the font-size from 70% to 100% which was
   much more readable.

 * [@marowniom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marowniom/) You should be sure
   to make any CSS changes like this either in your theme or under **Appearance 
   > Customize > Additional CSS.** Making CSS edits directly in plugin files is 
   a bad idea because those changes will get overwritten whenever there’s an update.

 * Well, I tried there first but it didn’t override the plug-in css.

 * `100%` should not be in quotation marks. If that doesn’t resolve it, you may 
   need to add `!important` after it (with a space before the `!`).
