Custom CSS and JS

Custom CSS and JS allows you to add stylesheets and JavaScripts to any individual post by adding custom fields. Both CSS and scripts can be either internal or external. Since this is a plugin, the custom CSS and JavaScript are available to any theme used to display the post, as long as the themes call “wp_head”. Using the Plugin To use the plugin, add any combination of the following custom fields to your post. custom_css Add an external stylesheet by adding a custom field with the name custom_css. The value of the field should be the path to your css file. cusrom_css_code Add an internal stylesheet by adding a custom field with the name custom_css_code. Include your CSS code as the value. (Do not include the style tags.) custom_js Add an external JavaScript by adding a custom field with the name custom_js. The value of the field should be the path to your script. custom_js_code Add an internal JavaScript by adding a custom field with the name custom_js_code. Include your JavaScript code as the value. (Do not include the script tags.) Custom Fields Order The external styles and scripts are included before the internal ones. If you include multiple entries for a given field, the entries will be included in order. Okay, but what if I don’t like those tags? Just edit custom-css-js.php and change the constants defined near the top of the file. Note This plugin only works with individual posts and pages. It does not work for list pages (e.g., the index page, search results).

TailPress – Tailwind for WordPress

Tailwind CSS is a great companion to building block based sites in WordPress. Unfortunately, it’s been pretty complicated to add Tailwind CSS to WordPress since it needs to be compiled with Node.js in order to be production ready. This plugin takes care of that by adding Tailwind CSS to WordPress in one easy step (activate the plugin) and at the same time takes care of performance and caching so your site remains fast and production ready! Who It’s For This is primarily for developers and users that are familiar with Tailwind CSS and comfortable styling their site using their utility class framework. It’s also for those who have struggled to add Tailwind to their workflow without having to constantly compile their CSS every time the classes in their page content changes. How it Works Extracts classes from pages and compiles them server-side into Tailwind CSS Caches the dynamically generated CSS to avoid performance issues on the frontend of your production site. Are you affiliated with tailpress.io the theme? No, we are not! Unfortunately the same name was used for both out of coincidence, but we are not affiliated and are two different solutions. Tailpress.io is a great starting point for developing custom themes with deep integration of Tailwind. I would recommend it for any developer that wants to build a custom theme that depends heavily on Tailwind. Tailpress, this plugin, adds Tailwind support to any project as an add-on. It can be used as much or as little as you need, added to custom themes or pre-existing ones. Can this be used in production? Yes! Although the styles in the backend get generated on the fly, the CSS on the frontend gets cached for every page. Changing any classes on the page will bust the cache automatically so it’ll still stay up to date with any changes. Can this be used outside the block editor? Yes! This will work anywhere on the backend or front end of your site that uses classes to style things. Known Issues Device Preview Mode in Block Editor The non-desktop preview modes in the block editor utilize an iframe and don’t load assets properly. Therefore your Tailwind styles won’t be visible here. Page Caching If you have any page caching on your site, you’ll have to clear your cache for the best experience.
