How to override !important?

Overriding the !important modifier

1. Simply add another CSS rule with !important, and give the selector a higher specificity (adding an additional tag, id or class to the selector)
2. add a CSS rule with the same selector at a later point than the existing one (in a tie, the last one defined wins).

Some examples with a higher specificity (first is highest/overrides, third is lowest):

table td    {height: 50px !important;}
.myTable td {height: 50px !important;}
#myTable td {height: 50px !important;}

Or add the same selector after the existing one:

td {height: 50px !important;}

Disclaimer:

It’s almost never a good idea to use !important. This is bad engineering by the creators of the WordPress template. In viral fashion, it forces users of the template to add their own !important modifiers to override it, and it limits the options for overriding it via JavaScript.

But, it’s useful to know how to override it, if you sometimes have to.
