Frequently Asked Questions

Will this Plugin work on my WordPress.com website?

Sorry, this plugin is available for use only on self-hosted (WordPress.org) websites.

My Custom CSS isn’t showing up

There are several reasons this could be happening:

  • Your CSS is targeting the wrong selector.

  • Your CSS selectors aren’t specific enough.

For instance, you may have:

a {
    color: #f00;
}

When you need:

content a {

color: #f00;
}

The specificity you need depends upon the CSS rules you are attempting to override.

  • Your CSS isn’t valid.

Please check your CSS at the W3C CSS Validation Service.
