Description
CodingBunny CSS Inspector adds a clean, DevTools-style sidebar to your WordPress frontend, letting administrators visually inspect any element and copy its CSS with a single click.
Perfect for theme customization, debugging, and quick styling adjustments—without ever opening the browser DevTools.
The inspector displays full CSS blocks, selector paths, HEX color values, used CSS variables, and ready-to-copy pseudo-state styles like :hover, :focus, and :active.
Designed for power and simplicity, and visible only to logged-in administrators.
