 * We just installed the SU plugin, which is generally great. However, when the 
   plugin is active, it seems to be messing with some of our styles. We have some
   inline block elements and the display of those elements is messed up when the
   plugin is running. It goes back to normal when plugin is disabled. I can’t find
   a specific style sheet issue when I inspect the page, but it is definitely something
   related to the plugin. Any guidance here would be appreciated.

 * This is probably a matter of the plugin’s shortcode classes interfering with 
   the classes in your theme. I’ve found over time that while it creates elements
   and classes from the shortcodes, it will also append classes to the parents (
   which may already exist), which are then handled by the plugin’s stylesheet instead
   of your theme’s.
    Have you tried changing the shortcode prefix for the plugin?
   You will have to go through your pages and change the shortcode names manually,
   but that’s more than likely a lot less work than any other alternative.
 * If you know what elements have gone sideways, you can always specify your real
   styling in the plugin’s custom CSS box. It’s hacky, but it will more than likely
   work if you’re out of patience/time/options/coffee.
