Great plugin

  • Great plugin. Even payed the extra $19 for the search widget. Only downside that I ran into, a growing pet peeve of mine, is its constant use of “!important” in its css, making the styling really tricky to customize AND maintain a tidy codebase. Using #id’s in your selectors is more than enough to attain the right priority, most of the time.

    Other than that; great to see a Dutch developer behind this. Ga zo door, kerel.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    I agree that there are to many rules with !important in the CSS. But I found out that just using an ID is unfortunately not good enough to make sure CSS used by the users theme doesn’t break the store locator styling.

    I had way to many people asking me in the past why the store locator looked so weird on their site, and always a CSS rule loaded by the theme managed to break it. So most of the rules that have !important behind it are rules that where overwritten by users themes in the past, and I simply had to make it more difficult for that happen again.

    It doesn’t look that great in the code, but it saves me a lot of time dealing with support questions related to the styling of the store locator looking really weird.

    That… actually makes alot of sense. Sounds frustrating to have to deal with. A necessary evil. Thanks for putting up with their syit, and contributing your code/time <3
