If the portal has customized themes and skins, additional Cascading Style Sheets must be accessed by the theme for proper operation of the People Finder portlet and Person tag.
To access the new CSS files, perform the following manual steps for each theme that supports an HTML markup:
Determine the location where CSS files are linked into the <HEAD> section of the page. For most themes, this will be a version of Head.jsp. The themes provided with WebSphere Portal have a version of this file located at:
Windows and UNIX:
    was_profile_root/installedApps/hostname/wps.ear/wps.war/themes/html/Head.jsp 
i5/OS:
    portal_server_root/installedApps/hostname/wps.ear/wps.war/themes/html/Head.jsp 
Edit this file and search for lines similar to the following lines:
    <link href='<wps:urlFindInTheme file="Styles.css"/>' rel="styleSheet" type="text/css">
    <link href='<wps:urlFindInTheme file="HelpStyles.css"/>' rel="styleSheet" type="text/css">
After the two lines in step 2, add the following line and save changes:
    <link href='<wps:urlFindInTheme file="LWP_Styles.css"/>' rel="styleSheet" type="text/css">
Touch the timestamp on the theme's Default.jsp file so it will be re-compiled by the JSP compiler. We can touch the timestamp by editing the file, adding a blank line, and saving it.

Restart the portal server.
