I just want to suggest an add to the next update. While helping in Wordpress support forums I suggest this plugin, but a lot of newbies get confused with the comment text in the editor area.

What happens is they see /* Enter Your Custom CSS Here */ and then add the code inside the comment section.

Maybe change it to /* Enter Your Custom CSS Under Here */ or something like that.

Thanks.

The Plugin "Simple Custom CSS" appears to be abandoned (updated 12/01/2016, tested to WP 4.4.14).
Type: Plugin Abandoned

Details: It was last updated 2 years ago and tested up to WordPress 4.4.14. It may have compatibility problems with the current version of WordPress or unknown security issues.

This plugin is great, but unusable on sites where performance is a concern until the CSS is delivered in a way that doesn't bypass caching. In its current form it bypasses the cache (because of the query string in the stylesheet URL), and the whole Wordpress environment has to be loaded in order to return the CSS (because it's being output by plugin PHP code). This combination makes it very problematic for performance.

This could be fixed by writing the CSS out to an actual file. A possibly simpler solution would be to use a WP API endpoint to serve the CSS from a cachable URL without a query string. This would still require PHP and Wordpress to generate the CSS the first time, but at least it could be cached.

Thanks for building a nice simple plugin!

When using "-characters, for example in the following expression:

  .side-nav input[type="text"] { .. }

the end result will be:

  .side-nav input[type="text"] { .. }

You should probably do an un-escape when reading the CSS on update.

I use wooCommerce on my site and I have just forced HTTPS redirect for the Checkout flow. However, when I do this, my custom CSS is blocked. I get:

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://www.myDomain.co.uk/blog/product/myProduct/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure stylesheet 'http://www.myDomain.co.uk/blog/?sccss=1&ver=fe62ddea3ed1898e6866564ccdc86c01'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

How can I fix this / work around it?

The Save CSS button can be hard to locate on the page when the CSS is long. Fix this input so it stays on screen.

Feedback request to minify the CSS.

I think I've found a permissions issue using WP Multisite.

As the network administrator, I can enable the plugin on individual blogs and use it just fine but when a SITE administrator attempts to use the plugin, it doesn't appear for them under Appearance -> Custom CSS like it does for me.

Maybe this is a permission issue that needs to be extended to site administrators?

Thanks for the great plugin! It works much better (crossbrowser) than a previous plugin we were using.
