<p>Lesser helps you manage custom CSS for your site using <a href="http://lesscss.org" rel="nofollow ugc">LESS</a>. Lesser is compatible with all WordPress caching because Lesser uses WordPress’s built-in script management features to output the final CSS.</p>
<p>Lesser keeps your custom styling out of your themes and plugins. That means theme and plugin updates and changes won’t overwrite your LESS. You can even switch themes and add/remove plugins without fear of losing the custom responsive CSS styling you worked so hard to debug on all the mobile device formats.</p>
<p>Benefits:</p>
<ul>
<li>Independent of any WordPress theme or plugin</li>
<li>Switch themes without losing custom styling</li>
<li>Add/Remove plugins without losing custom styling</li>
<li>Efficiently organize CSS</li>
<li>Ideal for managing responsive design customizations</li>
</ul>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Use LESS instead of CSS</li>
<li>Edit directly from your admin</li>
<li>Compatible with popular WordPress caching extensions</li>
<li>Easily migrate your changes using popular plugins like <code>WP Clone</code></li>
<li>Fast – Lesser compiles your LESS once and saves the result for super-fast load times</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://wp-results.com/plugins/lesser" rel="nofollow ugc">Lesser Pro</a> adds the following features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Separate editors for both admin and public CSS changes, as well as changes common to both</li>

<p>The Smart CSS Auto Loader Plugin allows you to load additional CSS files without the need to change the theme</p>
<h3>Retired Plugin</h3>
<p>Development, maintenance and support of this plugin has been retired in october 2023. You can use this plugin as long as is works for you.</p>
<p>There will be no more updates and I won’t answer any support questions. Thanks for your understanding.</p>
<p>Feel free to fork this plugin.</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>To load additional stylesheets just put them into a directory named <strong>cssautoload</strong> (case-sensitive!). This directory can be placed in three different locations that are loaded in the following order:</p>
<ul>
<li>Theme independent : in the <code>wp-content</code> directory</li>
<li>Theme dependent : in the Theme’s directory</li>
<li>Child Theme dependent (if using a Child Theme) : in the Child Theme’s directory</li>
</ul>
<p>Only files with extension .css are added, all other files are ignored. Also files beginning with an underscore (_) are ignored.</p>
<h3>CSS for different media</h3>
<p>CSS allows to have different styles for different target devices. Files placed directly in the <code>cssautoload</code> directory are added with the media type ‘all’, suitable for all devices. To use a different media type just create a subdirectory with the name of the target media type (case-sensitive!). Te following CSS media types are supported according to the official CSS standard:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>all</code> for all devices – you don’t need to create the <code>all</code> directory, you also can put the files directly into the cssautoload root directory</li>
<li><code>braille</code> for braille tactile feedback devices</li>
<li><code>embossed</code> for paged braille printers</li>
<li><code>handheld</code> for handheld devices</li>
<li><code>print</code> for printouts or print preview on screen</li>
<li><code>projection</code> for projected presentations</li>
<li><code>screen</code> for screens</li>
<li><code>speech</code> for speech synthesizers</li>
<li><code>tty</code> for media using a fixed-pitch character grid</li>
<li><code>tv</code> for television-type devices</li>
</ul>
<p>Other subdirectories in <code>cssautoload</code> directory are ignored. Also subdirectories in the media subdirectories are not supported.</p>
