How to ignore the specific CSS codes coming from the WordPress plugin stylesheet?

Question

I am working on a WordPress website built on custom theme in which I want to ignore some specific CSS codes coming from wordpress plugin style sheet.

Here is the link for that wordpress plugin style sheet.

The CSS codes from the above Wordpress plugin style sheet which I want to ignore is:

@media screen and (max-width: 575.98px) .gv-table-view tr:first-of-type {
    border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
}

@media screen and (max-width: 575.98px) .gv-table-view tr {
    display: block;
    position: relative;
    padding: 1.2em 0;
    overflow-x: auto;
}

 .gv-table-view th, .gv-table-view td {
        padding: .3em;
    } 

@media screen and (max-width: 575.98px) .gv-table-view tr td {
    display: table-row;
}

@media screen and (max-width: 575.98px) .gv-table-view tr td:before {
    content: attr(data-label);
    font-weight: bold;
    display: table-cell;
    padding: 0.2em 0.6em 0.2em 0;
    text-align: right;
    width: 40%;
}

Problem Statement:

I want to ignore the above CSS codes in the mobile version of the following website url which is coming from wordpress plugin style-sheet. I am wondering where I need to go in my wordpress website in order to achieve that ?

If I take the above url in the mobile view, we can see the CSS codes mentioned above the problem statement.

Answer 1

I'd say you should check the handle of the plugin's stylesheet. Look into the wp_enqueue_style part and find out that handle, and then add your own styleshet AFTER that handle by using that handle as a dependency. For example, put this in your theme's function.php:

wp_enqueue_style( 'your_own_handle', 'path/to/your/overwrite_stylesheet.css', array('handle_of_plugin1','handle_of_plugin2'))

With that done, you could overwrite all the plugin css either in whole or in parts.

Answer 2

You can achieve this in 2 ways.

Solution 1: All good plugins will define CSS handle for each of their CSS and its gravityview_style_default_table in your case. Just add the function given below in your theme's 'functions.php' to remove the particular CSS. Please note that this will remove the entire CSS and not the 'media queries' alone. You can then add the required CSS classes to your theme's stylesheet.

function remove_gravityview_table_style() {
    //check if mobile device
    $useragent=$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
    if(preg_match('/(android|bb\d+|meego).+mobile|avantgo|bada\/|blackberry|blazer|compal|elaine|fennec|hiptop|iemobile|ip(hone|od)|iris|kindle|lge |maemo|midp|mmp|netfront|opera m(ob|in)i|palm( os)?|phone|p(ixi|re)\/|plucker|pocket|psp|series(4|6)0|symbian|treo|up\.(browser|link)|vodafone|wap|windows (ce|phone)|xda|xiino/i',$useragent)||preg_match('/1207|6310|6590|3gso|4thp|50[1-6]i|770s|802s|a wa|abac|ac(er|oo|s\-)|ai(ko|rn)|al(av|ca|co)|amoi|an(ex|ny|yw)|aptu|ar(ch|go)|as(te|us)|attw|au(di|\-m|r |s )|avan|be(ck|ll|nq)|bi(lb|rd)|bl(ac|az)|br(e|v)w|bumb|bw\-(n|u)|c55\/|capi|ccwa|cdm\-|cell|chtm|cldc|cmd\-|co(mp|nd)|craw|da(it|ll|ng)|dbte|dc\-s|devi|dica|dmob|do(c|p)o|ds(12|\-d)|el(49|ai)|em(l2|ul)|er(ic|k0)|esl8|ez([4-7]0|os|wa|ze)|fetc|fly(\-|_)|g1 u|g560|gene|gf\-5|g\-mo|go(\.w|od)|gr(ad|un)|haie|hcit|hd\-(m|p|t)|hei\-|hi(pt|ta)|hp( i|ip)|hs\-c|ht(c(\-| |_|a|g|p|s|t)|tp)|hu(aw|tc)|i\-(20|go|ma)|i230|iac( |\-|\/)|ibro|idea|ig01|ikom|im1k|inno|ipaq|iris|ja(t|v)a|jbro|jemu|jigs|kddi|keji|kgt( |\/)|klon|kpt |kwc\-|kyo(c|k)|le(no|xi)|lg( g|\/(k|l|u)|50|54|\-[a-w])|libw|lynx|m1\-w|m3ga|m50\/|ma(te|ui|xo)|mc(01|21|ca)|m\-cr|me(rc|ri)|mi(o8|oa|ts)|mmef|mo(01|02|bi|de|do|t(\-| |o|v)|zz)|mt(50|p1|v )|mwbp|mywa|n10[0-2]|n20[2-3]|n30(0|2)|n50(0|2|5)|n7(0(0|1)|10)|ne((c|m)\-|on|tf|wf|wg|wt)|nok(6|i)|nzph|o2im|op(ti|wv)|oran|owg1|p800|pan(a|d|t)|pdxg|pg(13|\-([1-8]|c))|phil|pire|pl(ay|uc)|pn\-2|po(ck|rt|se)|prox|psio|pt\-g|qa\-a|qc(07|12|21|32|60|\-[2-7]|i\-)|qtek|r380|r600|raks|rim9|ro(ve|zo)|s55\/|sa(ge|ma|mm|ms|ny|va)|sc(01|h\-|oo|p\-)|sdk\/|se(c(\-|0|1)|47|mc|nd|ri)|sgh\-|shar|sie(\-|m)|sk\-0|sl(45|id)|sm(al|ar|b3|it|t5)|so(ft|ny)|sp(01|h\-|v\-|v )|sy(01|mb)|t2(18|50)|t6(00|10|18)|ta(gt|lk)|tcl\-|tdg\-|tel(i|m)|tim\-|t\-mo|to(pl|sh)|ts(70|m\-|m3|m5)|tx\-9|up(\.b|g1|si)|utst|v400|v750|veri|vi(rg|te)|vk(40|5[0-3]|\-v)|vm40|voda|vulc|vx(52|53|60|61|70|80|81|83|85|98)|w3c(\-| )|webc|whit|wi(g |nc|nw)|wmlb|wonu|x700|yas\-|your|zeto|zte\-/i',substr($useragent,0,4))) {

        wp_deregister_style('gravityview_style_default_table');
    }
}
add_action('wp_print_styles', 'remove_gravityview_table_style');

Solution 2: You can override the particular CSS file in your theme by copying it to [theme]/gravityview/css/table-view.css and make necessary changes (i.e. remove 'media queries').
