  • Excellent Plugin

    I use it on 40+ Sites. It's such a time saver and the inline CSS class feature is great. Thanks a lot for your contribution. I never had a single issue with it. I can highly recommend the plugin. Goog job!

  • Such an improvement!

    CSS Class Manager is a total game-changer for WordPress block editing, turning the clunky default class input into smooth autocomplete magic. The import feature is fantastic for quickly loading in classes and getting instant suggestions, while body/post filters and inline text support give you pro-level control right in the editor. It’s the kind of intuitive tool that feels like it should be core WordPress, making styling way faster and earning a solid 5 stars.

  • A must-have plugin that should be in core!

    This plugin is such a hidden gem! It does exactly what it should — makes managing CSS classes in the block editor super easy and fast. No bloat, no confusing UI, just a clean and lightweight solution that honestly feels like it should already be in WordPress core. I love being able to save and label my classes (adding descriptions is such a nice touch). It’s a total time-saver when working with custom CSS or utility frameworks. Huge thanks to the developer for building and sharing this. It’s now a must-have on every site I build!

  • Should be built in

    Simple, efficient, handy, and lightweight plugin. Perfectly integrated into WP. Feels like it should be built in. The new <body> classes feature opens up many possibilities beyond what the default WordPress UI offers. Thank you!

  • Invaluable for Block Theming

    Thanks you @ediamin - truly, thank you so much for this simple but super powerful plugin 🙏 This is exactly what I was dreaming of to manage block classes - perfect for introducing CSS Frameworks into Block Theming as well as it being perfect to utilise for responsive CSS.1 zillion percent amazing - can't imagine how much time this will save on my development going forward Grazie millie,Jakson

  • Really useful!

    This is a handy way to keep track of the class/classes I've applied to a block. Choosing the option to show the classes in their own panel means I can see at a glance which class I've applied and I can easily pick a class using the drop down list.
