That ‘almost’ did it.

I had to also:
a) ‘clear both’ on .fetch-tweets-body, & tidy up the spacing/padding a bit more on various elements. thus my css now reads:

/**
 * Fetch Tweets
 */
 .fetch-tweets > .fetch-tweets-item {
    padding-bottom: 1em;
}
.fetch-tweets-item > .fetch-tweets-main {
    margin-left: 0 !important;
    padding-left: 0px;
    padding-right: 0px;
}
.fetch-tweets-profile-image {
    margin-right: 0.5em !important;
}
.fetch-tweets-heading > .fetch-tweets-tweet-created-at {
    float: left;
    margin-left: 0px;
}
.fetch-tweets-main > .fetch-tweets-body {
    clear: both;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
}
div.fetch-tweets-body > p.fetch-tweets-text {
    padding-bottom: 0px;
}

and b)
since by default in wp, theme css is always loaded BEFORE plugin css, the css changes above neeed to go in a SEPARATE overrides.css file which i load explicitely directly AFTER the wp_head() hook in header.php.

hope you’ll agree this looks a lot better.

Thanks for your help again. Great plugin. Keep up the good work. 🙂

Thank you so much!

It seems to work perfectly now.

I will make a donation as soon as our site goes live.

Keep up the great work 🙂

thanks for taking a look Alan,

Very strange indeed.

I will do some further investigation – maybe its a corrupt wp install my end (I can’t see what else it can be – nothing else active).

I’ll let you know what I find.

All best

Thanks for the advise WPyogi – will do.

pps. although i have the plugin activated, i have NO widget logic expressions entered in any of the widgets – still breaks theme.

hi slickremix,

thanks for the fast reply.

yep got all that. in case this is helpful to anyone else out there: in order to override the standard plgin css file here what i did was apply a temporary hack to the plugin file:

/wp-content/plugins/design-approval-system/framework/das-default-template.php

– at the top of that file, replace the existing hardcoded html link to plugin’s css file with the following (or similar):

<?php
//mod jrc 290112 - allow stacked child theme plugin override css's
$scl_stylesheet_file_path = get_stylesheet_directory() . "/plugins/design-approval-system/templates/slickremix/css/" . "styles.css";
if (@file_exists($scl_stylesheet_file_path)) {
        $scl_stylesheet_file_uri = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . "/plugins/design-approval-system/templates/slickremix/css/" . "styles.css";
?>
				<!--scl child theme plugin ovverride for das template CSS-->
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="<?php print $scl_stylesheet_file_uri;?>" />
<?php
} else {
				//orig ok:
?>
				<!--default das template CSS-->
				<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="<?php print DAS_PLUGIN_PATH ?>/design-approval-system/templates/slickremix/css/styles.css" />
<?php
} //end if
// maybe: Enqueue the style sheet
// maybe:    wp_enqueue_style('etc');
//mod jrc 290112 - allow stacked child theme plugin override css's
?>

– i think this is pretty wp/plugin/child-theme-friendly, but migt be improved further to search a wider selection of possible places peolple might want to store plugin override stuff for their thems.

– i suspect also, you might want to do similar logic for all plugin template files, js files, etc – else provide some further wp custom hooks and filters to facilitate same.

all best
