Title: Live CSS Preview Author: Dojo Digital Published: 7 июля, 2012 Last modified: 6 апреля, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/live-css-preview.svg) # Live CSS Preview By [Dojo Digital](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dojodigital/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/live-css-preview.2.2.3.zip) * [Details](https://kk.wordpress.org/plugins/live-css-preview/#description) * [Reviews](https://kk.wordpress.org/plugins/live-css-preview/#reviews) * [Installation](https://kk.wordpress.org/plugins/live-css-preview/#installation) * [Development](https://kk.wordpress.org/plugins/live-css-preview/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/live-css-preview/) ## Description This plugin adds a textarea to the Customize page that allows theme editors to write, preview, and implement CSS code in real time. It also includes a frontend CSS editor window with live preview capability. ## Installation 1. Upload the `live-css-preview` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. ## FAQ ### Will the CSS be applied to my live site if I hit «Save & Publish»? Yes. Your changes are saved to the database and applied immediately to the frontend. ### Will the Live CSS Preview allow me to write @media queries? Absolutely — this is one of its primary features. ### My CSS doesn’t seem to apply. How can I override the theme’s CSS? The plugin adds a `livecss` class to the `` element. Use it to increase specificity when needed: ``` body.livecss { background-color: red; } ``` ### 2.1.6 whitespace error removed which may conflict with other plugins ### 2.1.7 Hardening security (sanitization + escaping) Cleaning up uninstall logic Stabilizing CSS injection / preview behavior ### 2.2.2 New behavior, complete rework. Front-end Live CSS editor now: -Loads CSS directly from Appearance Customize Additional CSS -Saves directly back to Additional CSS- Applies changes instantly on the front end Migration -Automatically migrates existing Live CSS data into Additional CSS on update -Ensures no CSS is lost during upgrade Improvements -Added Minify, Format, and Reset tools in the editor -Improved compatibility with themes and plugins (including complex layouts) -Hardened CSS and JS to prevent conflicts (Bootstrap, Toolset, etc.) -Ensures editor appears above all site elements( z-index handling) Performance -CSS now outputs only once using native WordPress methods -Reduced duplicate rendering and improved front-end efficiency Cleanup -Removed redundant Customizer editor (uses native Additional CSS instead)- Simplified architecture for long-term stability ### 2.2.3 -Fixed ACE autocomplete suggestions stacking below the Live CSS panel (z-index) - Fixed Format tool inserting a space after colons in selectors (e.g. a:hover was changed to a: hover); spacing is now applied only to property/value lines -Removed unused legacy Customizer control PHP file -Removed duplicate root js/ and css/ folders( only assets/js and assets/css are loaded) ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Live CSS Preview” is open source software.
