# Additional CSS Editor Issues

 * In previous themes, when using the old appearance:customize (via customize.php)
   you get an editor that is color coded and notes errors/issues.
 * In Twenty Twenty Three, this editor has no color coding, nesting ability, line
   numbers, or error checking.
 * It is really stripped down, in a bad way. If there is *any* issue, a missed bracket
   or semi-colon, styling of course breaks, and you’ve got to copy your work to 
   another editor to see where the issue might be.
 * I can reach the good editor if I force it into my admin menu through functions.
   php – but I am wondering, why isn’t this theme using the well-developed editor
   WordPress has had for a long time? This seems like it was just slapped together,
   and finding/navigating to it is pretty difficult.
 * Is there a plugin out there or a snippet I can add to functions that will put
   the good editor were this one is/fix this one?

 * Hi [@industrialweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/industrialweb/) at the
   moment there is a way to access the old CSS editor using a direct link. You can
   access it by adding _`/wp-admin/customize.php`_ after your URL. Concerning the
   suggestion I would suggest opening an issue on the GitHub repository below:

 * If you need assistance with this let me know.
