Design your system once in the app, export a JSON config file, then apply it in one click via three independent targets: **CSS Custom Properties (universal)** Injects `--wps-color-*`, `--wps-font-*`, and `--wps-btn-*` CSS variables plus `.wps-text-*` and `.wps-btn-*` utility classes into every front-end page. Works with any theme or page builder. **Elementor integration** Updates system colors, system typography, and global button styles via the Kit Manager API. Injects Elementor Global Variables (colors, font families, font sizes) and utility CSS classes (`.wps_h1`—`.wps_nav`, `.wps_btn_*`) directly into the active Kit’s custom CSS. User-created Custom Colors, Custom Fonts, and Global Variables are preserved on re-apply. **FSE / theme.json** Merges WPStylo design tokens into the active block theme’s` theme.json` (color palette, font families, font sizes, heading and body styles, button element) while preserving all other theme settings. Automatic backup before every write. #### Key features * JSON import via file upload or paste, validated against the `wpstylo/v1` schema * Responsive typography via `clamp()` (CSS) and automatic tablet size interpolation( Elementor) * Non-destructive re-apply — user content preserved in Elementor and FSE * Automatic `theme.json.wpstylo-backup` before every FSE write * Copy-to-clipboard class reference table in the admin #### Requirements * Elementor 3.0+ — required for the Elementor target only (optional) * A block theme — required for the FSE target only (optional) The CSS Custom Properties target works with any theme and any builder. ### External services This plugin loads the Google Fonts stylesheet from Google’s CDN (fonts.googleapis. com) on the plugin’s admin settings page only, to render a live preview of the typography defined in your imported configuration. When you open the YAOTW Stylo admin page, your browser requests the selected font families from fonts.googleapis.com. The selected font family names are included in the request URL. No personal data is sent by the plugin, and this request never happens on your site’s front end. Google Fonts is a service provided by Google LLC.

In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins Add New Plugin Upload Plugin. 3. Select the zip and click Install Now, then Activate. #### First steps 1. Visit [app.wpstylo.dev](https://app.wpstylo.dev), configure your design system, and export `wpstylo-config.json`. 2. In your WordPress admin under YAOTW Stylo, import the JSON file. 3. Click Apply on the target(s) you want to use. ## FAQ ### Does the plugin modify my theme files? Only the FSE target writes to your theme’s `theme.json`. A backup (`theme.json.wpstylo- backup`) is always created first. Use Download theme.json to get the file without writing to the server. ### What happens if I deactivate the plugin? CSS injection stops immediately. Elementor global settings and theme.json entries that were previously applied remain — they are not reverted on deactivation. ### Is it compatible with Elementor Free and Elementor Pro? Yes. The plugin uses the Kit Manager API available in both Free and Pro, stable since Elementor 3.0. ### Can I use it without Elementor or a block theme? Yes. Each target is independent. The CSS Custom Properties target works with any theme and any builder. ### Will re-applying overwrite my custom Elementor colors or fonts? No. Since v1.4.1, re-applying preserves user-created Custom Colors, Custom Fonts, and Global Variables in Elementor, and user-added palette entries in FSE theme.json. ### Where do I get the WPStylo config file? Visit [app.wpstylo.dev](https://app.wpstylo.dev). The app is free and requires no account. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “YAOTW Stylo – Design System Importer” is open source software.

No change to functionality, settings, or output. #### 1.4.3 * Fixed: escaped integer outputs in the admin UI; switched to wp_is_writable() for the FSE writability check. * Changed: Plugin Check / PHPCS compliance pass (documented nonce-routing and uninstall cleanup annotations). #### 1.4.2 * Security: all configuration-derived values (colors, font families, slugs) are now strictly sanitized before being output in CSS, preventing any markup breakout. * Changed: front-end and Elementor CSS variable blocks are now output via wp_add_inline_style(). * Changed: removed load_plugin_textdomain() (handled automatically by WordPress). #### 1.4.1 * Fix: Elementor re-apply no longer destroys user-created Custom Colors and Custom Fonts (`custom_colors` / `custom_typography` are now left untouched). * Fix: Elementor Global Variables injection now preserves user-created variables— only WPStylo-managed entries (prefix `color-` / `font-`) are rebuilt. * Fix: FSE apply now merges color palette, font families, and font sizes by slug instead of overwriting, preserving user-added entries. * Fix: Removed leftover debug statement in Elementor apply. #### 1.4.0 * Added: Custom color roles are now included in Elementor Global Variables and the front-end CSS variables block. * Fixed: Missing `--wps-color-secondary-background` and `--wps-color-secondary- text` in the front-end CSS block. #### 1.3.0 * Added: CSS Classes reference table shown when only CSS Custom Properties target is active. * Fixed: `borderWidth = 0` now removes all border properties across Elementor, FSE, and utility CSS. * Fixed: Button padding uses px values to prevent Elementor Kit Editor from silently resetting them. #### 1.2.0 * Redesigned admin interface with four sections and a CSS Classes reference table. #### 1.1.0 * Added Elementor Global Variables injection and utility CSS classes. #### 1.0.0 * First stable release. ## Meta * Version **1.6.0** * Last updated **1 day ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.5 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.0** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Tags * [design tokens](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/design-tokens/)[elementor](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/elementor/) [full-site-editing](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/full-site-editing/)[typography](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/typography/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/yaotw-stylo/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
