The "Additional CSS" section in WordPress allows you to add custom CSS code to your website without modifying the theme files directly. It provides a way to apply custom styling or override the default styles of your theme.
To use the Additional CSS section in WordPress, you can follow these steps:
-
Log in to your WordPress dashboard using your admin credentials.
-
Once you're logged in, navigate to the "Appearance" section on the left-hand side of the dashboard menu and click on "Customize."
-
In the Customizer, you'll see a list of customization options for your theme. Look for the "Additional CSS" tab or section. This may vary depending on your theme, but it's commonly found under the "Advanced" or "Additional" settings.
-
Click on the "Additional CSS" option, and a code editor will appear.
-
In the code editor, you can add your custom CSS code. You can write new CSS rules or modify existing ones to achieve the desired visual changes on your website.
-
As you make changes to the CSS code, you'll see a live preview of the changes on the right side of the screen. This allows you to see the impact of your custom CSS in real-time.
-
Once you've added or modified the CSS code, click on the "Publish" or "Save & Publish" button to apply the changes to your website.
By using the Additional CSS section, you can make visual modifications to your website's appearance without directly editing the theme files. It provides a flexible way to customize your site's design and style to suit your preferences.
It's important to note that when using the Additional CSS section, you should have a basic understanding of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and its syntax. Incorrect or conflicting CSS code can cause unintended effects on your website's layout or appearance. If you're not familiar with CSS, it's advisable to consult a developer or use a child theme for more extensive customization.
