Overview

WP Add Custom CSS allows you to add custom CSS to the whole website and to individual posts, pages and custom post types (such as Woocommerce products).

love it
by Jesko Bendmann·3 months ago

simple and one click access. great plugin.

It does exactly what it says in the tin
by danielepais·4 months ago

Great simple and effective plugin.

Great plugin with a couple issues
by skylabb·4 months ago

I want to like this plugin but there are a couple things needed improvement. Having the option to choose output method is great, but useless when it’s not working. The “Use a CSS file” option does not work. There’s no CSS file output and the CSS my code has no effect on the frontend. When I switch to the other two options, then my CSS is loaded in the frontend.

Secondly, the Save button is way at the bottom of the page. I make a lot of CSS edits. Having to scroll down the screen every time to save a change is a hassle.

Still works great

Simple and elegant solution.
