Insert JavaScript and CSS

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

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

   This plugin is working even though it hasn’t been updated for a long time. Just bear in mind that when you save your changes from your post, the save button doesn’t actually give any feedback. After you have clicked save, click out of the lightbox and update the post. The changes will be saved and appear on the frontend. With that little UX issue resolved this plugin is worth 5 stars and it’s wonderfully simple for getting CSS/JS into specific posts/pages.

   Hi. I want to insert javascript not on a single page but on all the pages. What changes do I need to make in the plugin code so that I can do that ? Thanks.

   I wanted a simple way to make a java script work on a single page without messy coding. Worked first time!

   I insert the Javascript code and the page seems to work fine for awhile, then the code disappears and I have to re-insert it and re-save. This has happened several times and is quite annoying. Do not use this plugin.

   Worked fine for me and a great option to add css to a single post or page which is exactly what I needed it to do! I’d prefer to have the javascript and css functionality separate but that’s simply because I don’t need the javascript bit. Thanks for developing. The other thing was I couldn’t immediately see the icon as was expecting a custom css box below the page edit area and instead it’s a small icon just below the page title – that’s the only thing I would change and that way you can see the css immediately.
