Title: Slug as body class Author: Carlo Roosen Published: August 9, 2014 Last modified: August 11, 2014 --- Search plugins This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/slug-as-body-class.svg) # Slug as body class By [Carlo Roosen](https://profiles.wordpress.org/carloroosen/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/slug-as-body-class.1.0.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/slug-as-body-class/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/slug-as-body-class/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/slug-as-body-class/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/slug-as-body-class/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/slug-as-body-class/) ## Description Want to have css styling rules for individual pages or posts? This plugin adds a unique class to the body tag of the html. The added class is formatted as “[post_type]-[post_name]”. For a page with slug (= post_name) “about” it will be “page-about”, and for a post named “today” it will be “post-today”. Currently no slug will be added for archive and category pages. Please let us know if you need this and we will add it. #### example Say you want to have a red title on your contact page. With this plugin all you need to do is add this line to your css: body.page-contact h1 { color : red; } #### Acknowledgements Thanks to Damiaan van Vliet for this plugin idea http://www.albuswebdesign.nl/. ## Installation In the WordPress backend, search for the plugin ‘slug-as-body-class’.

Many thanks for this plugin. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6765d95a9e5ffe6660af68b600d0bf308dc4926295440673e32d7eba14ae4de4? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[A Must Have](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-must-have-256/)󠁿 [andersonenvy](https://profiles.wordpress.org/andersonenvy/) April 28, 2017 I use this plugin on every WP site I build, it’s one of the first ones I add. I honestly can’t believe that WP doesn’t come with this feature natively, it’s so handy to quickly add CSS page-by-page, in a more “readable” way than Body ID’s. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0685eb955e845624ca8bb10cbc86a85c3aa0901de4d01a03f1d36774c3c988b9? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Very Practical](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-practical-10/)󠁿 [Alan](https://profiles.wordpress.org/alanwhiteman/) September 3, 2016 This is a very practical and useful plugin for developers. One would think that this functionality is supported natively by Wordpress, but the body classes simply get bloated with attributes. This plugin really helps simplify the process of targeting specific pages.
