## Descripción

This plugin adds a textarea to the Customize page that allows theme editors to write,
preview, and implement CSS code in real time.
 It also includes a frontend CSS editor
window with live preview capability.

## Instalación

 1. Upload the `live-css-preview` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

## FAQ

### Will the CSS be applied to my live site if I hit «Save & Publish»?

Yes. Your changes are saved to the database and applied immediately to the frontend.

### Will the Live CSS Preview allow me to write @media queries?

Absolutely — this is one of its primary features.

### My CSS doesn’t seem to apply. How can I override the theme’s CSS?

The plugin adds a `livecss` class to the `<body>` element.
 Use it to increase specificity
when needed:

    ```
    body.livecss { background-color: red; }
    ```

### 2.1.6

whitespace error removed which may conflict with other plugins

### 2.1.7

Hardening security (sanitization + escaping)
 Cleaning up uninstall logic Stabilizing
CSS injection / preview behavior

### 2.2.2

New behavior, complete rework.
 Front-end Live CSS editor now: -Loads CSS directly
from Appearance  Customize  Additional CSS -Saves directly back to Additional CSS-
Applies changes instantly on the front end

Migration
 -Automatically migrates existing Live CSS data into Additional CSS on
update -Ensures no CSS is lost during upgrade

Improvements
 -Added Minify, Format, and Reset tools in the editor -Improved compatibility
with themes and plugins (including complex layouts) -Hardened CSS and JS to prevent
conflicts (Bootstrap, Toolset, etc.) -Ensures editor appears above all site elements(
z-index handling)

Performance
 -CSS now outputs only once using native WordPress methods -Reduced 
duplicate rendering and improved front-end efficiency

Cleanup
 -Removed redundant Customizer editor (uses native Additional CSS instead)-
Simplified architecture for long-term stability

### 2.2.3

-Fixed ACE autocomplete suggestions stacking below the Live CSS panel (z-index)
-
Fixed Format tool inserting a space after colons in selectors (e.g. a:hover was 
changed to a: hover); spacing is now applied only to property/value lines -Removed
unused legacy Customizer control PHP file -Removed duplicate root js/ and css/ folders(
only assets/js and assets/css are loaded)
