    I would like to move the reference to the style.css file in my child theme down underneath other .css files (like the genesis-responsive slider plugin .css file, and other plugin .css files), in order to prevent me from putting "!important" after every style change that applies to a plugin.

    Does anyone know how to do this, or am I thinking about this wrongly? Because the Genesis Sliders are used in so many Genesis themes, I thought it would make sense for me to add my own styling to their slider in my custom child theme. Is this frowned upon?

    Thanks!

    You shouldn't need to use !important if your selectors are more specific, e.g. #content #genesis-slider

    Duh... thanks for stating the obvious!

    I'll try that and post a couple examples here when I get something to work. After that, we'll call this thread resolved...
