Important Notes
1.This plugin is based on lessphp by Leaf Corcoran
2.This plugin generates the css file under « /wp-content/uploads/lessify-cache » and therefore you need to define your images and any external links on you less file using the themeurl variable available with this plugin and if you use relative url then it will not work as we are saving the css file in a different location.
3.In order to use themeurl variable with the images you can do something like this
body{ background-image: url(@{themeurl}/images/bg.png); }
the plugin also comes with
another variable lessurl
which provides the url where the less file is present.
