Modular Custom CSS

Beschreibung

WordPress core provides custom CSS functionality in the customizer that’s specific to the current theme; you can switch themes freely with each theme’s additional CSS remaining in place. Sometimes, you need some CSS to apply regardless of the current theme persistently. This plugin adds a plugin CSS option for CSS that’s global and persists across theme changes.

With the Customizer, your CSS is instantly live-previewed, offering the ability to see exactly how your site will look before you publish your changes. The plugin CSS option is stored as an option. Prior to WordPress 4.7 (which introduced additional CSS in core), theme-specific CSS was stored as a theme_mod, in 4.7 and newer this is migrated to the core CSS functionality (which is theme-specific).

FAQ

Where is the Custom CSS Stored?

Theme CSS was stored as a theme_mod prior to WordPress 4.7, meaning it is a theme-specific option, part of the theme_mods_$theme option in the database. Each theme has its own theme_mod for the custom CSS, so if you switch to a new theme, the theme-specific custom CSS will be empty. When you switch back to a previously customized theme, the CSS that you added to it will still be there. In WordPress 4.7 and newer this plugin migrates to the core CSS functionality for theme-specific CSS, which is stored with a custom post type.

Plugin CSS is stored as a regular option in the database. It is used for every theme, so it’s best used for things that are plugin-related or anything else you want to persist between different themes.

Why is WordPress 4.0 required?

The Customizer features many improvements in WordPress 4.0, including the textarea control type that this plugin uses. WordPress 4.9 is recommended, as it includes the new CSS editor with syntax highlighting and other features.
