=== Simpler CSS === Contributors: frederick.ding, freddyware, oremj Tags: css, wpmu, appearance, themes Requires at least: 2.7 Tested up to: 3.0 Stable tag: 0.5 Donate link: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=759905 A simple (mu-)plugin enabling custom CSS on WordPress and WordPress µ blogs. == Description == This Simpler CSS mu-plugin allows WordPress µ hosts to enable users to add custom stylesheets to their blogs. The plugin creates a new menu item under the Appearance menu in WordPress 2.7 that allows users to enter custom CSS code that will be injected into the `
` section of their blog. The CSS is stored in the blog's options table and is filtered through a standard PHP function before being outputted, preventing the user from inserting malicious code into the header. For non-WordPress µ blogs, this plugin provides an easy way to modify the appearance of installed themes or plugins (such as Sociable) without modifying theme/plugin files that may change with upgrades. No write access is required to any files for Simpler CSS to function, as it stores its data in the database's options table — and that means theme/plugin upgrades won't impact your custom CSS. The custom CSS will only show when the theme has the necessary `wp_header()` function in the `` section, as most themes now do. Props go to Jeremiah Orem who created the original Custom User CSS plugin on the directory. I merely took that, contributed a thorough readme.txt, and fixed the code to add the menu item under the Appearance menu. == Installation == = For WordPress µ = 1. Upload the `simpler-css.php` file to the `/wp-content/mu-plugins/` directory. The other files should not be uploaded, and the file cannot be in a subdirectory. 2. You're done! As a mu-plugin, Simpler CSS is automatically enabled for all blogs. = For normal WordPress installations = 1. Upload the `simpler-css` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. == Frequently Asked Questions == = Why isn't the code showing up on the blog? = Remember that this plugin depends on standard WordPress hooks to operate. If the active theme does not have `wp_header()` in its code, this plugin is ineffective. *Remedy:* add the code `` to the theme files in the `` section. = Why can't I add JavaScript to the blog's code? = This plugin will only operate for Cascading Style Sheets code. The custom CSS is escaped and outputted within a set of `` HTML tags. These tags are outputted automatically, and including them manually in your CSS code could lead to malfunctions. == Screenshots == 1. The menu item as it appears under the Appearance menu. 2. The options page, with CSS code. == Changelog == = 0.5 = * Updated compatibility to 3.0-alpha (Subversion trunk version) * Fixed `htmlspecialchars()` usage to be compatible with PHP < 5.2.3 = 0.4 = * Fixed `
