Builder Basics: Adding Custom CSS to Block Themes

One major benefit of block themes is that they can be built with very little CSS. For example, the Twenty Twenty-Three theme has none. All block styles are defined in a theme.json file. While theme.json is getting more powerful with each WordPress release, you will likely need to add some custom CSS in most projects.
This Online Workshop will explore ways to add custom CSS to a block theme while ensuring those styles work correctly in the Editor and on the site's front end. If time permits, we will also discuss a Sass workflow you can employ to optimize per-block styles.

[@HBrooks]

needlessly complex to add custom CSS. with each iteration wordpress gets less usable unless you're a heavy programmer.

I am a commercial themes author for many years. I just rebuilt on of my themes to FSE from classic approach. The amount of PHP, HTML and CSS code is now reduced by at least 90%! And I am still not yet an expert in block themes. Yes, you need to learn how things work the new way. By complexity I would compare it to learning a CSS. The level of difficulty is now many times less than before. I am not nostalgic about the old WP at all.

@@slk-320 CSS is a walk in the park compared to this.

[@taunado]

@@Jack_Warner This is theme development. As far as that goes it's standard, if not easier.

[@estevancarlos]

@@slk-320 I don't see how clicking around in the admin is an effective way to theme.

[@estevancarlos]

This is a weird direction for Wordpress. Not a fan.
