Description: Manage and live-preview theme-specific and plugin-specific Custom CSS in the Customizer.

== 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.

This plugin is extremely simple; no validation is performed on the CSS added here and revision history is not saved (although it will be if/when Customizer setting revisions are added to core). 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).

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= 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.
