@CamSpy CSS generally works in reserve order in terms of importance. So the first is less important as the last... So if you have rules that clash the last CSS will be treated as more important as the first CSS file unless a !important Is used. Put <link> after all your other CSS files and it'll work fine. Or use more specific styling in your main template as @w3d has suggested, but correct loading of order of CSS will resolve this issue too.. if using WP check your enqueues and load via functions or similar rather than editing just the header.php.

| Apr 29, 2014 at 9:27 | comment | added | CamSpy | unfortunately putting a CSS file within <head> </head> is not gonna work as CSS needs to go after the Addthis script, to override Addthis styles with my custom ones. I cannot use inline CSS as well since I have no way of getting inside of Addthis code and insert my inline style into it. | |
