Description
Bunny Style Editor helps you add custom CSS from the WordPress admin while you see a live preview of the site. It includes tools to point at elements in the preview and get selector suggestions, switch device breakpoints, and pick whether styles apply everywhere or only to the current context (for example, a single post, page, archive, 404, or taxonomy view).
Key Features
- Real-time live preview: Changes update in the preview as you work so you can check results before saving.
- Visual element inspector: Use the inspect tool, point at an element in the preview, and choose from generated selectors to start writing rules.
- Responsive editing: Use Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile views to work with media queries and responsive rules.
- Contextual scoping: Add global CSS for the whole site, or store styles for a specific post, page, custom post type, category, other archives, 404, or custom taxonomy views so rules load only where you intend.
- Selector hints and completion: Suggestions are based on the current preview document to match what is on the page.
- In-editor validation: Syntax issues are reported as you type to catch mistakes early.
- Preview zoom: Zoom the preview in or out for fine adjustments.
- Quick access: Open the editor from the admin toolbar (when viewing the site) with Edit Style (current page vs global) and from the Edit Style row action on list screens.
If your account can edit custom CSS in WordPress (the edit_css capability, typically administrators), you can use this plugin.
Basic usage
- From the admin menu: In the dashboard, go to Appearance Style Editor to open the editor. The global context is a good place for rules that should apply site-wide.
- From the site (logged in): On the front end, use the Edit Style item in the admin bar. Open Current Page to style the view you are on, or Global for site-wide CSS.
- From a list of posts or pages: In Posts or Pages, use the Edit Style action on a row to open the editor scoped to that item.
- Save your CSS when you are done. Scopes you did not use stay unchanged.
You can always return to the same Appearance Style Editor screen later to keep editing.

FAQ
-
Who can use the style editor?
-
Only users with the
edit_csscapability. In a default install, administrators have it; to allow other roles, a site can grant that capability as appropriate. -
Does this plugin affect my site’s performance?
-
The editor interface loads in the admin when you open it. On the front end, the CSS you save is minified and output so it applies only in the right context (for example, post-specific CSS is not loaded on unrelated URLs).
-
Can I use this with any theme or page builder?
-
Bunny Style Editor outputs standard custom CSS. It is intended to work with well-coded WordPress themes and is commonly used next to the block editor and with third-party page builders, subject to how those tools load styles.
-
Is my CSS safe if I deactivate the plugin?
-
Custom CSS is stored in the database. It is not output on the front end while the plugin is inactive, but it is not removed on deactivation. Reactivating the plugin restores the previous behavior.
