Adding custom CSS is a common response when we provide support for our products. It is just logical that users want to add their own touch by adjusting the colors to their corporate ID, replacing a font with their favorite one or reduce the header height for example. These requests can often be answered with a few lines of custom CSS.

To make major customizations also consider Creating Child Themes.

Install Simple Custom CSS

To just add a bit of CSS you don’t have to fiddle around with template files or access your server via FTP or something. To manage your custom CSS code right from the WordPress admin area we usually recommend the Simple Custom CSS plugin.

Final Thoughts

This is probably the easiest way to add custom CSS to your site without having to access template files or change the style.css of a theme that would be overwritten during an update.

This practice, however, only makes sense if your custom CSS is not too extensive. For major customizations you may also want to consider Creating Child Themes.
