 * The inbuilt styles have not been loaded because the plugin cannot detect that
   it is being used on the page. To force the plugin to load the styles you can 
   add the following line to your theme’s `functions.php` file:
 *     ```
       add_action( 'init', 'a_z_listing_force_enable_styles', 99 );
       ```

 * Hi,
 * It looks like you’re using a custom template, possibly copied from `wp-content/
   plugins/a-z-listing/templates/a-z-listing.example.php`.
 * The `a-z-listing.example.php` file does _not_ include the required markup for
   the columnar display to work. Instead you should either let the plugin use it’s
   default template by removing the template from your theme; or you should copy
   the template from `wp-content/plugins/a-z-listing/templates/a-z-listing.php` 
   instead.
 * This latter template named simply `a-z-listing.php` (i.e. the one that doesn’t
   include `.example` in the name) is the one that will be used when you haven’t
   overridden it with a template in your theme.
