6. Use of Custom Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) on WordPress

Adding custom CSS allows you to change your website’s layout and appearance beyond the standard options. It lets you personalize everything from fonts and colors to spacing and animations, giving you complete creative control. We learn CSS on WordPress through the tutorial.

First, you’ll need to head over to the Appearance » Customize page from your WordPress dashboard.

This will launch the WordPress theme customizer interface.

On this page, you can see your site’s live preview with a bunch of customization options on the left panel. Simply click on the ‘Additional CSS’ tab to start editing.

The tab will slide to show you a simple box where you can add your custom CSS. As soon as you add a valid CSS rule, you will be able to see it applied on your website’s live preview panel.

Example of CSS:

This is a paragraph.<html lang=”en”>

<head>
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”style.css” />
<title>Browser</title>

<style>
p {
color: red;
font-size: 20px;
background-color: yellow;
}
</style>

</head>

<body>
<p>This is a paragraph</p>
</body>

</html>
