Title: Editing CSS in WP Dashboard
Post by: Imagenomad on July 09, 2013, 12:09

I'm looking at Amanda's Creative Embers resources on customising the child theme CSS but my WP Dashboard looks nothing like the screenshots.

I've got an Editor under appearance but no specific "Edit CSS" option and certainly no ability to preview before saving. I can get to the child theme CSS using the Editor but there's no Preview or Publish options

Is there a plugin I'm missing?

Until someone who knows answers - check out the Jetpack, I think that has the CSS editor in it that you can enable

It is indeed a Jetpack function, a little info here: http://www.symbioguides.com/knowledgebase/jetpack-info-installation/ (http://www.symbioguides.com/knowledgebase/jetpack-info-installation/)

Basically you make a free Wordpress account (this is so you can use their database functions for things like the Stats plugin which is fantastic) then go into your dashboard, click Jetpack and Connect to Wordpress. 

There are lots of things in there you may find useful.  On my symbio site I use the sharing buttons, stats and contact form. ....on all 16 images I have uploaded, can you tell I've been busy? :)

I'll be updating that tutorial with the Jetpack info and moving it to Symbiosguides soon, it's on the list now thanks!
