Admin Module

Custom Admin CSS

Custom Admin CSS lets you add your own CSS styles to the WordPress admin dashboard. Modify colors, adjust layouts, change fonts, hide elements, or fix plugin styling issues without editing core files. The CSS editor includes syntax highlighting and applies styles across all admin pages. This is useful for branding the admin area, improving accessibility with larger fonts, hiding confusing elements from clients, or fixing visual issues with plugin interfaces. Changes persist through WordPress updates since styles are stored in the database.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my CSS survive WordPress updates?

Yes, custom CSS is stored in the database and applies after WordPress loads. Core updates do not affect your customizations.

Can I target specific admin pages?

Yes, WordPress adds body classes for each admin page. You can use these to target styles to specific screens like the post editor or plugins page.

What if my CSS breaks the admin?

Worst case, you can access the database directly to remove the CSS, or use wp-cli. The module also supports a recovery mode if styles cause issues.
