 * Hi,
 * Love the plugin – only issue I’m having is in the layout. Selecting any other
   pre-built layout has no effect on the style – I’ve tried clearing cache and other
   troubleshooting to no avail. It stays on the simple red style. Any suggestions?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Flayout-not-changing%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for the details.
 * Unfortunately I think this is going to be a cache related issue. On the site 
   front-end I am seeing the following CSS file associated with the plugin:
 * `wp-content/plugins/ajax-search-lite/css/wpdreams-ajaxsearchlite.min.css`
 * The problem is, that this file actually does not exist in the original plugin
   folder, it is not part of the search plugin, and it is not enqueued by Ajax Search
   Lite for sure. It looks like it’s only a symbolic link generated via a cache 
   plugin, and it refers to a different file in a different location (I guess?),
   or it is placed there by a 3rd party plugin.
 * Best,
    Ernest M.

 * Hi,
 * I would first suggest de-activating the cache plugin, to see if there is any 
   difference. Then checking the .htaccess rules in the root directory, if there
   is any mod_rewrite rule regarding these files.
    It is also possible, that your
   CDN provider is doing a minification outside the WordPress scope, make sure to
   check that as well.
 * Best,
    Ernest M.
