Using WP web scraper with WordPress - css

Question

I'm trying to use WP Web Scraper plugin with WP in my site www.eastwickpark.co.uk to get online ratings of the practice from another site
https://www.iwantgreatcare.org/gpsurgeries/eastwick-park-medical-practice
I used this code snippet
<img src="http://www.eastwickpark.co.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/iwantgreatcarelogo.png" />
<div>
[wpws url="https://www.iwantgreatcare.org/gpsurgeries/eastwick-park-medical-practice" query=".image-middle" basehref="1" ]
</div>
Then I used custom CSS in the themes stylesheet editor
.btn.blue,
div .btn.blue {
font-size: 16px;
padding: 8px 16px;
}
/*** Stars ***/
.sprite-icons.star-blue-outline {
background-image: url('http://www.eastwickpark.co.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/star-blue-outline.png');
width: 19px;
height: 17px;
}
.sprite-icons.star-blue-fill {
background-image: url('http://www.eastwickpark.co.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/star-blue.png');
width: 19px;
height: 17px;
}
.sprite-icons.star-blue-half {
background-image: url('http://www.eastwickpark.co.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/star-blue-half.png');
width: 19px;
height: 17px;
}
.sprite-icons.caret-white {
background-image: url('http://www.eastwickpark.co.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/caret-white.png');
width: 10px;
height: 14px;
}
I've got a problem with my CSS in that the button "wraps".
Tried to just get the star rating targeting the class "raty-rating-wrapper-readonly" part but then I get a whole load of vertical stars.
i.e. if i use
[wpws url="https://www.iwantgreatcare.org/gpsurgeries/eastwick-park-medical-practice" query=".raty-rating-wrapper-readonly" basehref="1" ]
I get a whole vertical list of 5 * images?
If I use image-middle div like this
[wpws url="https://www.iwantgreatcare.org/gpsurgeries/eastwick-park-medical-practice" query=".image-middle" basehref="1" ]
I get a weird wrap on the button.
Can't figure this out, and have to admit I'm not a CSS guru. Any insight would be gratefully received.

I've got a problem with my CSS in that the button "wraps"
The cause of the wrapping behaviour is due to <br> tag dynamically generated by WordPress. You can either fix it by following the guideline here: Stop WordPress automatically adding <br> tags to post content
The above post is a plus for you because it also removes the <p> tags that are dynamically generated. I just browsed through your code and found a lot of unwanted p tags.

Since you hinted for a CSS solution, a simple fix is to hide the br tags using #widgets .textwidget br { display: none; }. Alternatively #widgets .textwidget a { display: inline-flex; align-items: center } fixes the space and aligns the arrow image as the br tag is ignored inside and initial direction of flex is row.
