The original ‘Additional CSS’ is gone

    Hi community

    I created a site with Twenty Twenty Three and wrote small CSS additions for various places in ‘Additional CSS’ (screenshot) under the ‘Design’ section. In one of the last updates, this option disappeared from the section, and with it all the CSS rules I had defined. They are all still active, but no longer accessible or editable.

    My questions:
    How can I make those specific CSS rules I wrote accessible and editable again?

    Can the original ‘Additional CSS’ be reactivated? (I have found other places for editing CSS – inside the website editor as well as in the plugin ‘Custom CSS and Java’, which in turn appears in the ‘Design’ section – but neither of them makes my rules accessible.)

    Thank you for your answers or references to same, already existing topics.
    I am happy to provide details.

    Hi @martinbettler !

    I’d love to help you with the issue you’re facing. Could you provide a bit more detail about the update you mentioned? Specifically, are you referring to a WordPress core update or a theme update? When did this update occur?

    Here’s what might be happening:

    In block-based themes (like Twenty Twenty-Three), the “Customizer” option is no longer available, which means the “Additional CSS” section isn’t accessible in the same way as it is with classic themes. Instead, you’ll need to manage CSS differently in block themes. You can find more information on this here: Styles Overview.

    If you were using a classic theme before and added custom CSS through the Customizer, that CSS is stored in the database. When you reactivate the classic theme, you should be able to access and edit that CSS again. You can then copy the CSS and adapt it for use in a block theme instead, if needed.

    Keep in mind that the CSS classes and selectors in block themes may differ from those in classic themes, so some of your custom CSS might need to be adjusted.

    I hope this helps!
