Quickie: Executing CSS in custom_functions.php
Sometimes we need to execute CSS code within the PHP in our custom_functions.php file. It’s a simple trick! You use the style statement to wrap your CSS in.
Here’s an example for you:
function use_style_statement() {
?>
<style type="text/css">
.custom #some_id { background: #000000; }
.custom .some_class { position: relative; }
</style>
<?php
}
Note these things:
- You must turn PHP off with the
?>statement before using thestylestatement and back on with<?phpwhen you are finished. - The CSS statements within the
stylestatement are the same as you would use in thecustom.cssfile
Now, isn’t that easy?
