Overview
The Custom CSS extension in DesignSute gives you full control to fine-tune your design beyond the default Elementor options. It allows you to write and apply your own CSS directly to any Elementor element—without touching theme files or using third-party plugins.
This is perfect when you need precise spacing, custom animations, or unique styling that isn’t available in standard controls.
Key Benefits
- Add custom CSS per element
- No need to edit theme or child theme files
- Works with sections, columns, and widgets
- Safe, flexible, and easy to manage
- Ideal for advanced design tweaks
How to Activate Custom CSS
Before using Custom CSS, make sure the extension is enabled.
Steps to Enable:
- Go to DesignSute → Dashboard → Extensions (Tab)
- Find Custom CSS
- Toggle it ON
How to Use Custom CSS in Elementor
Once the extension is enabled, Custom CSS becomes available inside Elementor.
Steps:
- Open any page with Elementor Editor
- Click on a Section, Column, or Widget
- Go to the Advanced tab
- Scroll down to find Custom CSS
- Paste your custom CSS code
- Click Publish / Update
Your custom styles will be applied instantly.
Writing Custom CSS
You can target the selected element using the provided selector (usually selector).
Example:
selector {
background: #f4f4f4;
padding: 40px;
border-radius: 12px;
}
This ensures your CSS only affects the selected element and nothing else.
What You Can Do with Custom CSS
- Fix spacing issues
- Adjust hover effects
- Add custom animations
- Override default styles
- Create unique layouts
- Fine-tune responsive behavior
It’s especially useful when standard controls aren’t enough.
