 * I have this same problem. After installing OSM I get ‘”Forbidden” when i try 
   to save any edited page or try to preview it.
    It seems a nice plugin and I’d
   like to use it. Can anyone help please?

 * Just to answer Ronstrilaeff…
    Sorry to have left his hanging. It took me a while
   to track down the answer and I forgot to get back to close off here. The issue
   is to do with css specificity rules. I found this blog explained in a helpful
   way. [http://www.vanseodesign.com/css/css-specificity-inheritance-cascaade/](http://www.vanseodesign.com/css/css-specificity-inheritance-cascaade/)
   The basic thing seems to be that if you have this problem be as specific as necessary
   when defining the css in the child theme.
 * So, for example, this didn’t work:
 *     ```
       .latestnews {
       background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #F9F9F9;
           border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
           box-shadow: 1px 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) inset;
           padding: 2px;
           margin:0;
           width="150";
       	height="150";
       }
       ```
   
 * but this does:
 *     ```
       #wrapper .latestnews {
       	background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #F9F9F9;
           border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
           box-shadow: 1px 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) inset;
           padding: 2px;
           margin:0;
           width="150";
       	height="150";
       }
       ```
   
 * Hope this helps 🙂

 * Peredur, Thank you for your offer of help.
    I tried to revert the parent theme
   to the original and have achieved a different scenario.
 * What I saw before using firebug was that the site-title was using the rules from
   the parent stylesheet in particular width: 700px; but the site description was
   using the rules from the child stylesheet width 400px; Since this was within 
   a 940px wide element this caused it to be displayed below the site title and 
   not alongside as I intended.
 * Having changed the parent stylesheet as a work-round and now changed it back (
   to show you) it now seems to be using the definitions from the child stylesheet
   in both cases as I intended.
 * This may have been the end of it except that now the #header padding, which is
   defined as padding: 0; in the child stylesheet but as padding: 30px 0 0 0; in
   the parent stylesheet is displaying with the 30px padding at the top.
 * I am so confused. I’ve tried clearing the browser cache in case it is actually
   a local problem. I’ve double-checked the syntax in the stylesheets. What next?
 * Here are the relevant bits from the 2 stylesheets (copied and pasted so syntax
   is as is):
 * >  /* extract from child theme stylesheet*/
   >  #header { padding: 0; } #site-title{
   > color: #002147; margin: 0; font-size: 2.5em; width: 540px; } #site-title a {
   > color: #002147; } #site-description { margin: 0px 0 4px; width: 400px; text-
   > align: right; }
   > /* This is the custom header image */
   >  #branding img { border-top: 2px solid#
   > 002147; }
 * >  /*extract from parent theme stylesheet*/
   >  /* =Header ————————————————————–*/
   > #header {
   >  padding: 30px 0 0 0; } #site-title { float: left; font-size: 30px;
   > line-height: 36px; margin: 0 0 18px 0; width: 700px; } #site-title a { color:#
   > 000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; } #site-description { clear:
   > right; float: right; font-style: italic; margin: 15px 0 18px 0; width: 220px;}
   > /* This is the custom header image */
   >  #branding img { border-top: 4px solid#
   > 000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000; display: block; float: left; }
