You can override breakpoints using this filter: add_filter( ‘ACCE_custom_css_breakpoints’, function( $defaults ) { return [ ‘tablet’ => 900, ‘mobile’ => 600, ]; } ); Troubleshooting = My CSS is not applying. What should I check? = – Make sure you used selector for widget-scoped rules. – Confirm your CSS syntax is valid. – Clear Elementor and site cache after changes. – Check whether another CSS plugin is overriding the same styles. Responsive styles look different than expected. Why? Check your media query logic and verify custom breakpoints if your project overrides defaults.

User Access Control In the Custom CSS and JavaScript WordPress plugin, access to plugin features is determined by user capabilities. Users with the edit_theme_options capability will enjoy full access to all the plugin’s features. By default, the “Administrator” and “Editor” roles come equipped with the edit_theme_options capability. However, site administrators have the flexibility to customize these capabilities and assign them to other roles or individual users through plugins or custom code. Furthermore, to provide users with enhanced control, we’ve introduced a custom capability known as wpz_custom_css_js. Users possessing both the wpz_custom_css_js and edit_posts capabilities can be granted access to the plugin’s features.
