 * Anyone know why IE 11 ignores any changes I make to the style.css file. Chrome,
   Safari and Firefox all reflect the changes from this file.

 * Hey CLCUSA
 * Is this the style.css file in the plugin folder? It doesn’t really make sense.
 * Do you have a link I could look at?
 * I would add a class to your form by using class in the shortcode:
 *     ```
       [searchandfilter fields="search,post_tag" class="myclass"]
       ```
   
 * And then define your styles in you themes css file like:
 *     ```
       .searchandfilter.myclass
       {
           display:block;
           border:1px solid #f00;
       }
       ```
   
 * If there is a conflict somewhere in the CSS with another plugin then you could
   try adding `!important` to your rules..

 * Yes this is the style.css file in the plugin folder.
    I tried adding a class,
   but IE still ignores anything I put in the style.css. Also tried adding !important,
   still totally ignores it.

 * Ok, I have found the problem. The theme I am using has a modified WPBakery Visual
   Composer plugin. If I deactivate it then my modified style.css file is displayed
   on IE. Only problem is it messes up the way the theme displays. Now I have to
   figure out how to make it work with the Visual composer.

 * Ok, everything is good now. When reactivating the Visual Composer pluging and
   then going to the page I want edited with the search&filter shortcode, I have
   to make sure there is absolutely no spaces in between visual composer code and
   my shortcode on the page. Wierd, but it works.

 * Hey CLCUSA thanks for the update. Do you think this might be what happens when
   using any shortcode with WPBakery or just this one?
 * I’ll certainly look in to it at some point.
 * Thanks

 * I’m pretty sure it is just with my customized WPBakery plugin
