This is a really awesome plugin, and will remain awesome updates or not
by bmiller22000·1 year ago
Easy to use and gives you the access to behind the scenes places you need (like css on this page, for this table, fast and effectively, without digging through mountains of native wp and plugin stylesheets. It has been a big help.
I want to love it more
by Paul Bradley·2 years ago
This seems like a great idea, and it’s super to finally be clear of the small Additional CSS panel in native wordpress.
What’s making me unsure if I should continue are 2 things:
1 – when you press Save, it shoots you back to the top of the CSS file. If you wanted to check and re-edit a bit you were working on, you’ve got to find it again.
2 – no code hints to help complete as you type.
Both these things are present on the Additional CSS panel but not here.
Hope they can introduce!
