Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

This plugin allows you to add custom site-wide CSS styles and JavaScript code to your WordPress site. Useful for overriding your theme’s styles and adding client-side functionality.

Features:

  • Code editor with syntax highlighting and AJAX saving to avoid reloading the editor at each save.
  • Save and preview your CSS and JavaScript as a draft that is only applied to logged-in users with the necessary permissions until you are ready to publish your changes to the public.
  • View and restore past revisions of your CSS and JavaScript.
  • Automatically minify your custom CSS and JavaScript code to reduce file size.
  • For the public, custom CSS and JavaScript code is served from the filesystem instead of the database for optimal performance.

Now available! Custom CSS and JavaScript Developer Edition:

  • Divide your CSS and JavaScript into multiple virtual files to keep your code organized (the code is still served as one CSS and one JS file on the front-end for efficiency).
  • Supports Sassy CSS (SCSS)!
  • Live preview for CSS!
  • Upload and download CSS and JavaScript files, individually or in ZIP files.
  • The developer logo and review/donation links are removed from the editor page in the WordPress admin.

User Access Control

In the Custom CSS and JavaScript WordPress plugin, access to plugin features is determined by user capabilities. Users with the edit_theme_options capability will enjoy full access to all the plugin’s features.

By default, the “Administrator” and “Editor” roles come equipped with the edit_theme_options capability. However, site administrators have the flexibility to customize these capabilities and assign them to other roles or individual users through plugins or custom code.

Furthermore, to provide users with enhanced control, we’ve introduced a custom capability known as wpz_custom_css_js. Users possessing both the wpz_custom_css_js and edit_posts capabilities can be granted access to the plugin’s features.
