WordPress is a popular content management system (CMS) for blogs and websites. You can edit the CSS with the Theme Customizer or via a plugin.
Edit CSS in WordPress – Theme Customizer
An easy and quick way to customise the WordPress design without an additional plugin is the Theme Customizer. It allows you to customise some aspects of the theme, including the CSS. However, only what the theme provider has associated with the settings can be edited.
- First go to your WordPress website (www.ihredomain.de/wp-admin) and log in as admin.
- In the admin area, click on the “Design” entry in the sidebar on the left.
- In the field “Additional CSS” you can insert your own code.
- Publish the change with “Publish”.
Edit CSS in WordPress – Theme File Editor
Of course, in addition to the simple method of the Customizer, there is also the slightly more complex option of customising the CSS from the theme directly. Compared to the Theme Customizer, the Theme File Editor allows direct access to the files in which the CSS code is stored. Overall, this means that the customisation options are greater.
- First go to your WordPress website (www.ihredomain.de/wp-admin) and log in as admin.
- Click on the “Design” entry in the dashboard on the left in the sidebar.
- You can then click on “Theme file editor”, select the CSS file and make settings.
- On the top right you can change the theme to be edited if necessary.
- Save the change with “Update file”.
Edit CSS in WordPress – use plugin for customisation
You can also use the plugin for customization.
- Log in as an administrator on your WordPress site
- Install the plugin “Simple Custom CSS”.
- Click on “Plugins” in the menu tab.
- Open the CSS editor by clicking on “Add CSS”.
- Add your code and confirm by clicking on “Update”.
