Ever wanted to tweak the look of your WordPress website – maybe adjust the spacing around a button, change a font size, or even create a unique visual effect – but felt intimidated by CSS? Traditionally, making these kinds of modifications meant diving into code or hiring a developer. But what if there was a simpler way? Could you really use artificial intelligence to generate the CSS you need? Absolutely! Now, you can leverage the power of AI to generate the CSS code you need to customize your WordPress site, making design modifications accessible to everyone. This guide will walk you through the easy steps to harness AI and unlock a new level of design flexibility for your website.
Step 1: Identify the Element You Want to Modify
The first step is to pinpoint exactly which element on your website you want to change. Is it a button, a heading, a section background, or something else? Having a clear target in mind will help you communicate effectively with the AI.
Step 2: Give the Element a Unique CSS Class
To tell the CSS (and the AI) which specific element you’re referring to, it’s best practice to give it a unique CSS class. Here’s how you can usually do this:
1. In the WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg): When editing a page or post, select the block you want to modify. In the right-hand sidebar, expand the “Advanced” section. You’ll find a field labeled “Additional CSS class(es).” Enter a descriptive name here (e.g., my-custom-button, homepage-hero-section, special-heading). You can add multiple classes, separated by spaces.
2. Using a Page Builder (e.g., Elementor, Beaver Builder): Most page builders have similar options within their element settings. Look for an “Advanced” tab or a section to add CSS classes or IDs to specific modules or widgets.

Once you’ve added a unique class, make sure to save your changes.
Step 3: Inspect the Element in Your Browser
Next, you’ll need to see the underlying code of the element you want to modify. You can do this using your browser’s “Inspect” tool:
1. Open the page on your website where the element is located in a new tab.
2. Right-click directly on the element you want to change.
3. Select Inspect or Inspect Element from the context menu. This will open your browser’s developer tools, usually at the bottom or side of your screen.
Step 4: Locate the Element's Code and Existing Styles
In the developer tools, you’ll see the HTML structure of your page. The element you right-clicked on should be highlighted. On the right side (usually in a tab labeled “Styles” or “Computed”), you’ll see the CSS rules that are currently being applied to that element from your theme and any plugins.
Step 5: Ask Your AI (Like Gemini or ChatGPT) to Generate the CSS
Now comes the AI magic! Open your preferred AI tool (like Gemini or ChatGPT) and provide it with the following information:
1. The CSS class you added to the element (e.g., .my-custom-button). Make sure to include the leading dot for a class.
2. A clear and concise description of the modification you want to make. Be as specific as possible. For example:
- “I want to make the background color of
.my-custom-buttona light blue.” - “How can I increase the font size of the text inside
.special-headingto 20 pixels?” - “For the
.homepage-hero-section, how do I add a subtle box shadow?” - “I want to remove the underline from the links within the
.my-custom-section.” - “How can I center the text inside
.my-custom-button?”3. (Optional but helpful): You can also provide the AI with some of the existing CSS properties you found in the “Styles” tab of your browser’s developer tools. This can give the AI more context.
Step 6: Copy and Paste the Generated CSS into WordPress
The AI should provide you with the CSS code needed to make your desired modification. Carefully copy this code.
Then, go back to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS. Paste the CSS code you copied into the text area.
Step 7: Preview and Adjust
As soon as you paste the CSS, the Customizer preview on the right should update to reflect your changes. If it’s not exactly what you envisioned, don’t worry! You can go back to the AI, explain what you’d like to adjust, and ask it to refine the CSS. Then, simply copy the updated code and paste it into the Additional CSS section again.
Once you’re happy with the results, click the Publish button at the top of the Customizer to save your changes and apply them to your live website.
Unlocking Your Design Potential
With the help of AI, customizing your WordPress website’s design has become more accessible than ever. You no longer need to be a coding expert to make those small but impactful tweaks that can truly make your site stand out. So go ahead, identify those elements you want to enhance, ask your AI for some CSS magic, and unlock your WordPress design potential!
