I haven’t personally used those only because I don’t modify CSS much for posts/pages. * Thread Starter [mythusmage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mythusmage/) * (@mythusmage) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restricting-css/#post-6725325) * Castaneda, * The only plugins I have found for CSS only restrict CSS to the site as a whole, or to a particular post or page. I’m talking about restricting CSS to a particular template. * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restricting-css/#post-6725326) * CSS itself can target specific areas of a page and specific pages, as long as there is some unique HTML to that area and page. Themes that are distributed on WordPress.org have a unique class in the `` element, something like ‘ page-id-56’, that you can use in CSS. * Thread Starter [mythusmage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mythusmage/) * (@mythusmage) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restricting-css/#post-6725327) * Andrew, * I’ll check it out.

For CSS, you only need to look at the generated code on your website and not look into the PHP files themselves. The generated code can be seen when you right click on a page and select the ‘View source’ option. * Some browsers, or some addons in browsers, let you see that code in a much neater way. Have you tried the Firebug addon for Firefox? * Thread Starter [mythusmage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mythusmage/) * (@mythusmage) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restricting-css/#post-6725335) * That’s where they hide it. 🙂 * Thread Starter [mythusmage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mythusmage/) * (@mythusmage) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restricting-css/#post-6725336) * Andrew, * Your suggestion didn’t work.
