No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    I use it on 40+ Sites. It’s such a time saver and the inline CSS class feature is great. Thanks a lot for your contribution. I never had a single issue with it. I can highly recommend the plugin. Goog job!

    CSS Class Manager is a total game-changer for WordPress block editing, turning the clunky default class input into smooth autocomplete magic. The import feature is fantastic for quickly loading in classes and getting instant suggestions, while body/post filters and inline text support give you pro-level control right in the editor. It’s the kind of intuitive tool that feels like it should be core WordPress, making styling way faster and earning a solid 5 stars.

    This plugin is such a hidden gem! It does exactly what it should — makes managing CSS classes in the block editor super easy and fast. No bloat, no confusing UI, just a clean and lightweight solution that honestly feels like it should already be in WordPress core. I love being able to save and label my classes (adding descriptions is such a nice touch). It’s a total time-saver when working with custom CSS or utility frameworks. Huge thanks to the developer for building and sharing this. It’s now a must-have on every site I build!

    Simple, efficient, handy, and lightweight plugin. Perfectly integrated into WP. Feels like it should be built in. The new <body> classes feature opens up many possibilities beyond what the default WordPress UI offers. Thank you!

    Thanks you @ediamin – truly, thank you so much for this simple but super powerful plugin 🙏 This is exactly what I was dreaming of to manage block classes – perfect for introducing CSS Frameworks into Block Theming as well as it being perfect to utilise for responsive CSS.1 zillion percent amazing – can’t imagine how much time this will save on my development going forward Grazie millie,Jakson

    This is a handy way to keep track of the class/classes I’ve applied to a block. Choosing the option to show the classes in their own panel means I can see at a glance which class I’ve applied and I can easily pick a class using the drop down list.

    For years I used the Editors Kit plugin for the sole purpose of the CSS Class Management. However, though the years that plugin became a disaster, with lots of garbage added to it. Thankfully I found this little gem. The only thing that I want to add as a Wishlist, that the Editors Kit has is to export the custom CSS classes in php as well, so we can simply include that code in our plugins/themes, so we don’t have to import/export the json files with each site installation. Nevertheless, this is one of my must use plugins for every site, since I have dozens of custom CSS classes to deal with. I can not express enough my gratitude, YOU ROCK !!!
