Easy Custom Code (LESS/CSS/JS) – Live Editing vs Pattern CSS – The CSS Editor For Blocks

The Easy Custom Code WordPress Plugin lets you 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. VIDEO (How it works?) FEATURES Easily add custom LESS, CSS, and JavaScript to your site. Manage unlimited external stylesheets and scripts via a modal window. Control JavaScript placement (head or footer) for optimized performance. Insert custom HTML in key areas: Inside the tag. Immediately after the opening tag. Before the closing tag. PRO FEATURES Minified CSS Output – Option to enable automatic minification of compiled CSS. Full-Screen Editor – Maximize the code editor for a distraction-free coding experience. 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; } For full LESS documentation, visit lesscss.org.
