Custom Login Admin Front-end CSS

Description

Loads custom CSS on WordPress Login Pages, Admin and Front-end via the admin interface. Can be used with WordPress single install and WordPress multisites.

Custom LAF CSS is very useful on multisite networks. Admins can customize the look and feel of the network and add CSS for the entire network. Adding CSS to the front-end via this plugin is handy when common features need styling and you are not sure which theme the user will be activating.

Main features:

• Loads custom CSS on Login, Admin and Front-end pages regardless of the active theme.
• CSS for Login, Admin and Front-end is separately saved and used.
• CSS is beautified and neatly presented in the admin.
• CSS minification.
• Multisite compatible.
• Translation ready.
• Compatible with Admin CSS MU plugin with inbuilt feature to import CSS.

You can add your custom CSS in WordPress Admin > Appearance > Custom LAF CSS of your WordPress install or the base site on a WordPress multisite network.

It does exactly what it says in the title. The code highlighting works flawlessly and all the styles are loaded in the appropriate places. Great for editing CSS of the backend! I use it on all my websites and wouldn’t want to miss it.
