How to Edit CSS in Wordpress

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to add custom CSS styles in WordPress using the Site Editor.

Quick summary

The WordPress Site Editor lets you add custom CSS to your site without touching theme files. Navigate to Appearance > Editor > Styles > Additional CSS to write and save your own style rules instantly.


Steps

  1. Navigate to Appearance, then click Editor to open the Site Editor.
  2. Click Styles in the Design menu on the left panel.
  3. Click the pencil icon to open the full Styles options.
  4. Click the three dots to the right of the Styles heading to reveal advanced options.
  5. Choose Additional CSS from the dropdown menu.
  6. Type or paste your CSS code into the text box provided.
  7. Click the Save button at the top right of the screen to apply your CSS to the site.

📌 Why this matters

Editing CSS in WordPress gives site owners and developers precise control over their site's visual design without modifying theme files directly. Using the built-in Additional CSS panel in the WordPress Site Editor means custom style changes are preserved even after theme updates. This approach is ideal for anyone who wants to fine-tune fonts, colors, spacing, or layout beyond what the block editor's design controls offer. It lowers the barrier to custom web design, making advanced styling accessible directly from the WordPress dashboard.
