Easy Custom Code (LESS/CSS/JS) – Live Editing

The Easy Custom Code WordPress Plugin easily customize your WordPress website by adding your own LESS, CSS, and JavaScript code directly via the built-in WP Customizer. With this plugin, there’s no need for a child theme or additional files. Simply insert your custom code, and it will be compiled into a minified CSS file for styles and a JavaScript file for scripts.

This lightweight plugin is designed for ease of use, providing a seamless and organized way to manage custom styling and scripts without affecting core theme files.

What is LESS?

LESS is a CSS preprocessor that allows for variables, nested rules, mixins, and more, making your stylesheets more efficient and maintainable.

LESS code:

   @global_color: #FF0000;
   @global_font_size: 14px;
   @secondary_color: #CCC;

   body {
      color: @global_color;
      font-size: @global_font_size;
   }
   .container {
      color: @secondary_color;
      font-size: @global_font_size * 2;
   }

Outputs the following CSS:

   body {
      color: #FF0000;
      font-size: 14px;
   }
   .container {
      color: #CCC;
      font-size: 24px;
   }
