 * Hi Vladimir. I think you’ve created a wonderfully powerful plugin, but I want
   to give some feedback about issues with the implementation that are a bit rough.
 * Tooltips: there have been problems with this shortcode for a long time, not least
   relating to the positioning of the tooltip windows, and nothing seems to have
   been fixed. (1) The width responsiveness of the tooltip is terrible – the window
   easily ends up too narrow, off-screen, or just mislocated (there are other threads
   about this, but no real fix). (2) You appear to have unnecessarily hardcoded 
   a lot of layout into the CSS which is difficult to diagnose or override – for
   instance line-height of text in a tooltip.
 * Buttons: Again, there is a lot of hard-coded styling which is difficult to control.
   Why does the method of specifying the padding of buttons change in the CSS at
   different screen widths, for instance? (And the CSS has an !important added, 
   making it even harder to fix.) Also, as a suggestion for the buttons, it should
   be possible to specify no URL at all (either to display an example button, or
   so that you can embed, for instance, a lightbox link).
 * It seems that often the hardcoded CSS from the plugin is inappropriately overriding
   the site’s theme CSS, which goes against good design principles. Perhaps it’s
   just the legacy of the development work you’ve done over time on this plugin.
   I look forward to seeing how this great plugin develops further.

 * Hi [@lamington](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lamington/),
 * I totally agree about tooltips. It’s a piece of the really old code. I will remake
   it later.

 * I use `!important` across the plugin to make sure themes are not overriding necessary
   styles. Trust me, themes are often poorly-coded. This approach helps me to reduce
   the number of conflicts.

 * That isn’t obvious, I suppose, but you can use `javascript:;` as URL value to
   give a button an _empty link_. Probably, I should add this to the documentation.
   Example:
 *     ```
       [su_button url="javascript:;"] A button without link [/su_button]
       ```

 * I wish I could remove it, but I can’t. There are tons of themes which force me
   to follow this approach.

 * Somewhere it is, somewhere it isn’t.
 * Thank you for the feedback. I will keep making this plugin awesome for everyone
   🙂
