 * Hi, FYI the CSS is added only to frontend of the site, not in backend/admin area.
   If I want to modify backend css, this plugin is not for it at the moment. Otherwise
   it’s very handy, I use it and like it very much!

 * This plugin most certainly can add CSS to the admin area, but you need to use
   the correct snippet for it to do so. The provided sample CSS snippet is only 
   intended to work on the site front-end. To add CSS to the admin area, you can
   do something like this:
 *     ```
       add_action( 'admin_head', function () { ?>
       <style>
   
       /* css code goes here */
   
       </style>
       <?php } );
       ```
