Editor Style

Editor Style is where you define styles that only apply in the Gutenberg editor. These styles override the regular Style section and do not affect the frontend.

When to Use It

Use Editor Style to fine-tune the editing experience when frontend styles interfere with content editing:

Fix Visibility Issues:

  • Remove or adjust animations that make it hard to select content
  • Fix overlapping elements that block clicking or typing
  • Adjust opacity or z-index for better editor interaction

Improve Editing Clarity:

  • Disable hover effects that interfere with editing
  • Adjust spacing to make click areas more accessible
  • Simplify complex layouts for easier content management

How It Works

Editor styles override regular styles in the Gutenberg editor only:

  • Style → Applies to editor and frontend
  • Editor Style → Applies only in editor, overrides Style

This lets you keep your frontend design intact while making editing smooth and easy.
