  • WOW this is amazing! :O

    This plugin is amazing to edit CSS live inside wordpress! I've tried alternatives, but this one knocks it out of the park. How come this has just 900+ installations??? This plugin needs to be part of every default wordpress installation! VERY useful to style wordpress in real-time!!! This saves quite some time & hassle with page reloads. ^‿^ And it does not only CSS, but also JS and custom header & footer code. I really hope the developer keeps it up <3 Still working with WP 5.2.2 by the way. THANK YOU
