How to edit your WordPress theme’s CSS

Sometimes, you need to make changes to your WordPress theme that you cannot easily customize. This is where CSS comes in.

What is CSS?

The initialism is a shortened form of the name Cascading Style Sheets. CSS is a way to describe how you wish to have parts of your webpage or website look.

Here is an example of how to tell your browser to make H1 headings red:

h1 {color:red;}

Changing the looks of your webpage will require you to learn how to write CSS. This is no easy feat, but it will give you absolute control of the appearance of your webpage.

Learn CSS

CSS is not a subject one can learn in a few minutes. However, it is not so difficult that you couldn’t learn the basics in a few days. There are many free courses and videos that will get you started.

The Web Development By Doing: HTML / CSS From Scratch will give you a strong overview.
