I’m trying to custom-style the news\_article.php file of the News Module addon and it appears I can’t overcome the theme styling in the Framework theme. Am I going about this from the wrong direction? Can you point me to a tutorial or something that shows how to override template styling?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Pixelfixer - can you point me to the News Module addon you’re working on? Just want to make sure I’m looking at the right thing. Thanks!

Got it - so without diving into the addon, I imagine your options would be to:

- Override the package’s CSS file

- Put more specific styles in your own CSS file that would overrule the existing styles (like body { display: none !IMPORTANT; } or something like that - adding important, or making the style include more selectors in the declaration to make it more “specific” and thereby taking precedence over the other styles.

Hope that helps!
