Works with WordPress single install and WordPress multisites. Version 2.0 is updated wtih an Admin interface and can be found in Appearance > Admin CSS MU Admin CSS MU uses CSSTidy to clean and optionally minify CSS. CSS is only minified while using it. The editor always shows un-minified CSS for easy editing. Note: If you want to easily add custom CSS on your Login and Front-end as well ( along with WordPress Admin), use my [Custom Login Admin Front-end CSS](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-login-admin-front-end-css-with-multisite-support/) plugin instead. ## Screenshots * [[ * Admin Interface in Appearance > Admin CSS MU ## Installation To use as a normal plugin in WordPress single install and Multisite. 1. Install the plugin through the WordPress admin interface, or upload the folder / admin-css-mu/ to /wp-content/plugins/ using ftp. 2. Activate the plugin via WordPress admin interface. If it is a Multisite, Network Activate it. 3. Go to WordPress Admin > Appearance > Admin CSS MU and add the custom CSS you want. 4. For Multisites, the settings page will be in the Appearance > Admin CSS MU of the main site. Only network admins can add/edit CSS. ## FAQ ### Can I try the CSS sample from the screenshot? Sure! To change the background colour of the dashboard add this and save. ``` #wpwrap { background-color: #5f5f5f !important; } body, h1, p { color: #f1f1f1 !important; } ``` ### I found this plugin very useful, how can I show my appreciation?
