Compiles .scss files on your wordpress install using ScssPhp. Includes settings page for configuring directories, error reporting, compiling options, and auto enqueuing.
The plugin only compiles when changes have been made to the scss files. Compiles are made to the matching css file, so disabling this plugin will not take down your stylesheets. In the instance where a matching css file does not exist yet, the plugin will create the appropriate css file in the css directory.

Is there a documentation? How does this work!?
The latest update breaks the site.. but if this happens it’s a fairly easy fix.
Go to github.com/scssphp/scssphp
Click on Code (in green) then Download Zip
Extract the zip
Upload everything in scssphp-master/src/* to your wp-content/plugins/wp-scss/src/ folder
Refresh the page and you should be good.
It looks like the author someone didn’t get all of the src folder added into the plugin in the latest update
Unfortunately this plugin had some updates in the past that broke several websites. Updates were slow and manual rollbacks were necessary.
Been using this for years and when it works, it works well. But after it broke client sites yet again with the most recent update, I have to question the QA on this plugin.
I have a hard time not using this plugin in my projects since it makes implementing SCSS just SO easy for my dev team. On the other hand, there have been 2 times in the past year where a major issue occurred with an update resulting in lots of broken websites. In both cases the developers were slow to address the issue. At this date, the plugin fails catastrophically if “always recompile” is selected.
