Этот глючный плагин уничтожил целый день работы! Поудалял весь CSS код в секциях @media, оставив их пустыми, а все остальное смешал несколько раз в кашу в самом css файле, который в итоге вышел на пару тысяч строк! (дада, именно смешал в кашу, а не просто скопировал все подряд несколько раз) Уж не знаю какими были предыдущие версии, но текущая даже называтся альфа версией может с трудом
