Custom CSS Pro

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   Thanks for making this. JavaScript support, or similar plugin for JavaScript would be amazing! I know custom JS plugins exist, but they lack the simplicity.

   I searched a long time and this plugin is the best! It has a nice user interface and most important it shows CSS mistakes! I found with this Plugin why my CSS before was not working. This topic was modified 4 years ago by mayan62.

   Поменять стили настолько просто, что особо и добавить больше нечего. Особо полезен этот плагин для начинающих разработчиков.

   Absolutely love this; one note; sometimes after saving the changes and go back to change say one character or a line, it doesn’t popular “save changes”. Maybe a small bug? In either case, I use the plug-in for every WP site I run and can’t live without it. No more going through different theme menu’s just to edit the CSS!

   This is the kind of plugin you’d easily donate $10 for because it’s so useful. Much thanks to WASP Themes (creators of the Yellow Pencil plugin) for offering such a lightweight and useful tool for nothing. If you use custom css to regularly style elements like I do, there’s nothing quite like being able to preview those live changes in the window while you code. I’ve been using this for about 16 months, I use it on over 10 different wordpress installs to cleanly and effectively make simple color changes, add padding, etc.

   Does exactly what it says on the tin – and more. Excellent feature of being able to edit CSS and see results in realtime before saving. Fantastic time-saver – thanks to the devs!
