Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use CSS Hero on my WordPress builder or Theme?
CSS Hero has been tested on most WordPress themes and plugins (like DIVI, Elementor, Beaver Builder, Genesis framework...) and it will be basically compatible with any WordPress environment. Have a look at our plugins and themes demo pages.
You can buy with confidence as, in case CSS Hero won't properly work in your environment, we offer a full 30 days money back guarantee.
What can I exactly do with CSS Hero?
CSS is the language that allows websites to look different; CSS Hero is a convenient WYSIWYG Theme editor for WordPress that will help you making visual changes to your website with a point and click interface, instead of coding. CSS Hero will automatically generate the required CSS code, and deploy it to your website upon saving.
A clean visual interface will let you leverage advanced CSS features like background fades in a snap, and is rich of small helper tools which will make your life easier, removing the need to remember values, color codes, keywords. You will find almost all CSS properties in CSS Hero, with preset values, color pickers, shadow generators... you can instantly try everything pushing further your CSS knowledge boundaries.
If you are a newbie or a CSS pro, you will love what CSS Hero does - plus, you can easily learn or improve your knowledge of the CSS language (and LESS actually) while playing with it.
What if I make a mistake? Do I risk messing up my site? Is CSS Hero solid?
A full history is maintained of all your edits - thus you can preview and recall instantly all the versions of your Hero-generated CSS.
You can always undo with CSS Hero - and you can even reset single properties, so that if you made a wonderful job of personalizing your site, but you have messed the site header for example, you can always reset that element only - so that your personalizations are erased and that element will revert to the original Theme definition.
Basically, you should never be in trouble.
Will CSS Hero make my site slower?
From a technical standpoint, CSS Hero does only add to your site frontend a single, static extra CSS stylesheet that cleanly overrides your Theme’s original stylesheet. Period.
There is NO significant performance degradation, and zero added workload for your server.
Can I remove CSS Hero after I'm done with the design?
Yes, definitely. Performance-wise this is not worth the effort as CSS Hero is an extremely lightweight plugin - but of course you can do so if you want. You can always export the generated CSS code and save it wherever you desire: there is no vendor lock-in at CSS Hero.
You can paste the exported CSS code in the WordPress Customizer Additional CSS field, and shut down the CSS Hero plugin: your personalization work will be kept.
Will it mess up my Theme? How does it work code-wise? Where is my data saved?
CSS Hero is a live WordPress Theme editor that works without modifying any of your theme files.
It is widely compatible with many environments and it is built to be light and tolerant.
Your edits are stored securely on your database - but your users will be served a static CSS file only.
If I don't renew my plan after a year, what will happen to my site? Is the renewal automatic?
No problem at all! Renewal is required only for updates and support. Your CSS changes will continue to work perfectly and the product will still launch. The renewal is not automatic, CSS Hero will never charge you any amount if you do not dispose it directly. You'll just receive an offer to renew your account one month before expiring date. We have distinct deals for upgrading and renewing your plan, so take a look at our newsletter. We work to make our heroes happy!
What does it mean "activate for one year on new sites, edit forever your sites"?
Each plan expires after 365 days from the purchase date. At the end of that period CSS Hero will continue working, but you will not be able to install CSS Hero on NEW (other) sites. At the end of your CSS Hero annual plan, your plan will NOT automatically renew.
Will CSS Hero Be Addictive?
Yes, definitely. Once you discover how much fun you will have with this tool, you will become a Hero-junkie too.
For some it's the WYSIWYG live CSS customization, for other folks the effective color management, or the ability to instantly test background image uploads. We want you to be hooked on Hero!
