I’m writing my first wp plugin and I have many problems, most of those I got to solve by just reading the codex, but I don’t know how to write into a css file within my plugin’s options. Maybe there’s a better way of doing it, but what I had in mind was using a text field and saving that into an empty custom.css file that would be packed with the plugin. I don’t want having to save css info into the wp_options table. Is there a standardized way of having custom css for your plugins which could be changed by the user without having to open the css file themselves??
Thanks in advance
What’s wrong with saving CSS to the database? That is the correct approach. And that way, you can simply output the options to a function, which can be enqueued properly, using
wp_print_styles, and entirely avoid file operations/writing to .css files.
