## Description

WordPress core provides custom CSS functionality in the customizer that’s specific
to the current theme; you can switch themes freely with each theme’s additional 
CSS remaining in place. Sometimes, you need some CSS to apply regardless of the 
current theme persistently. This plugin adds a plugin CSS option for CSS that’s 
global and persists across theme changes.

With the Customizer, your CSS is instantly live-previewed, offering the ability 
to see exactly how your site will look before you publish your changes. The plugin
CSS option is stored as an `option`. Prior to WordPress 4.7 (which introduced additional
CSS in core), theme-specific CSS was stored as a `theme_mod`, in 4.7 and newer this
is migrated to the core CSS functionality (which is theme-specific).

## Installation

 1. Take the easy route and install through the WordPress plugin installer, OR,
 2. Download the .zip file and upload the unzipped folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/`
    directory
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 4. Go to the Customizer (Appearance -> Customize) to add custom CSS to your site.

## FAQ

### Where is the Custom CSS Stored?

Theme CSS was stored as a `theme_mod` prior to WordPress 4.7, meaning it is a theme-
specific option, part of the theme_mods_$theme option in the database. Each theme
has its own `theme_mod` for the custom CSS, so if you switch to a new theme, the
theme-specific custom CSS will be empty. When you switch back to a previously customized
theme, the CSS that you added to it will still be there. In WordPress 4.7 and newer
this plugin migrates to the core CSS functionality for theme-specific CSS, which
is stored with a custom post type.

Plugin CSS is stored as a regular `option` in the database. It is used for every
theme, so it’s best used for things that are plugin-related or anything else you
want to persist between different themes.

### Why is WordPress 4.0 required?

The Customizer features many improvements in WordPress 4.0, including the textarea
control type that this plugin uses. WordPress 4.9 is recommended, as it includes
the new CSS editor with syntax highlighting and other features.

Thanks for this! It seems Modular Custom CSS is the most modern plugin that takes
advantage of WP 4.7+ features.

#### 2.0

 * Migrates theme CSS to the core custom CSS functionality in WordPress 4.7.
 * Adjusts the plugin CSS option to use the `edit_css` capability introduced in
