# Editing CSS Manually

 * Hello,
 * It’s been some time since I’ve worked with WP. It seems to me I used to have 
   a tool to edit the source code with. Is there a tool to customize/edit it? At
   present I’m thinking some CSS and not to mention META tags though I do have plugins
   that do some of that.
 * Thank you!

 * What WordPress version and theme are you using?

 * You didn’t mention the theme you’re using 😀
 * If you’re using a classic theme, there’s a simple ADDITIONAL CSS box in APPEARANCE
   => CUSTOMIZE where you can add your custom CSS to override the defaults that 
   came with your theme, plugins and WordPress (where applicable).
 * If your theme is a block/FSE theme, you can use the Style Editor to customize
   the design of most elements on any page without writing any custom CSS. But, 
   if need be, you can also add custom CSS globally, or per block. Here’s the full
   documentation: [https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/styles-overview/](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/styles-overview/)
 * Note that, in both cases, you’re not directly editing your theme’s CSS files,
   but adding additional CSS to override some of the styles. Editing the theme’s
   files directly is never a good idea, as you’ll lose any such edits when you update
   the theme.
