Hi there,

Whats the difference between those two areas (Additional CSS and Theme Custom CSS global) to input CSS code? If I have the same code two times in each of this areas, what will be happen?

Thanks,
Patrick

Hello, Patrickjanko,

Thank you for reaching out to us with your query.

The “Additional CSS” section and the “Theme Custom CSS Global” area serve similar functions in that they both allow you to add custom CSS to your website. However, there are subtle differences in how they operate within the theme and WordPress environment.

1. **Additional CSS**: This is a WordPress core feature found in the Customizer. It allows you to add CSS that will override the default styling of your theme and plugins. The CSS rules added here are loaded last, which means they take precedence over the theme’s styles and other CSS files.

2. **Theme Custom CSS Global**: This is a feature specific to our themes that allows you to input CSS that applies globally across your site. The CSS added here is integrated directly by the theme.

If you input the same CSS code in both areas, the code will likely be applied twice. This duplication generally doesn’t cause functional issues, but it can lead to confusion and make debugging more difficult if you need to adjust your styling later. It’s best to choose one location to keep your custom CSS organized and maintainable.

Should you have any more questions or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best Regards,
8Theme’s Team
