Class option does not work
by dgfd6f8g54d5f4g·6 years ago·1 reply
The plugin provides an option to define a class to it but my own css styling gets overwritten by the styling the plugin came with.
As I maintain highly stylised websites, this plugin is, alas, a no-go.
I hope it gets fixed.
this non-techy person got it to work!

Though it wasn’t completely intuitive, I got this to work without any help, without it even taking very long, and that is really saying something. The cute little demo film provided by the developer clinched my success. if you are not exactly sure how to make this plugin work right away, just exercise a little patience as you watch the demo several times. I am very grateful to the developers–thank you!
