Update changed the appearance, can't fix

Hi,

Two days ago I updated this widget to 2.5.4 and it changed the appearance (font style and link style) of the posts that were added by an older version (though I forget the widget version last used). WP version 3.9.3.

I played around with the stylesheet of the child theme and nothing helped. Though I’ve made other kinds of CSS and code adjustments, I’m no programmer so maybe a few more detailed instructions would help (and I’ve used FF’s Inspect Element). Or maybe I can figure out the issue by comparing this version to an older one…do you have an older one?

Sincerely,

Robb
