 * This plugin is awesome. Works perfectly out of the box, the add-ons are an excellent
   value, and it’s very easy to style via custom CSS. 5 stars. I’m very thankful!
 * Note: if you’re having trouble modifying layout, simply copy one of the CSS files
   from the plugin’s folder (/wp-content/plugins/store-locator-le/css by default)
   and use that as a guide for your own CSS.
 * This approach might not be future-proof, as the HTML the plugin generates may
   change following plugin updates, but it’s a good way to get started. The markup
   this plugin generates is quite well organized and easy to style within reason.

 * I try to keep future upgrades from breaking things. This is why the layouts use
   shortcodes to drop data on the search, results, map info bubble, and general 
   page layout.
 * Take a CSS file in the directory, rename it, and modify the header. The header
   can contain extra layout data. This creates a modified CSS format that I call
   a Store Locator Plus Theme. If a future upgrade, or errant user input for that
   matter, changes the layout you should be able to use the User Experience / View“
   Change Layout” button to read in the CSS header options and apply them to the
   site to restore your setup.

 * Any way you’d recommend disabling the enqueueing of the plugin’s theme stylesheet?
   I usually try to integrate as much css as possible to reduce HTTP requests. Hence
   the approach I’m using to integrate the plugin theme CSS into my own theme’s 
   stylesheet.
 * Thanks!

 * And here are the docs (just updated) on theme/CSS files. I noticed the newer 
   options in the header were not explained.

 * The enqueue is built into the plugin startup. There is a blank theme that is 
   very light weight. Yes, it still loads a CSS file but it is the smallest file
   in the themes you can get with almost zero CSS rules.
 * You should find that any JavaScript, CSS, or even PHP code should only load when
   necessary. Front-end CSS/JS on the pages with [slplus] shortcodes active. Admin
   CSS/JS on pages related specifically to managing SLP. I always strive to have
   the smallest footprint at all times to improve site throughput whenever possible.
