Don’t Bother
by CGS Web Designs·3 years ago
Doesn’t work with latest versions of WP. Throws a critical error when trying to save any color change. Not sure why the WP Core Team leaves it in the repository if it’s not going to be maintained. If I could give it 0 stars I would.
Great plugin, but slightly flawed.
by twinskye·5 years ago
Everything is perfect, but it’s not allowing for hex codes now and the Preview button makes everything change as desired, however, when you Save, it resets. Please update to include the hex code input box and actually save the changes.
Not working

As others have already mentioned, it crashes when saving.
Newest version is on GitHub but not here
by artsgirl·7 years ago·3 replies
There’s a newer, working version of this plugin on the GitHub repository. Please update the version here. This is a great and very useful plugin and deserves to be accessible to all WordPress users, not just those savvy enough to grab the newer version from GitHub.
