I got this message working with a new site and am wondering if tailwind is even compatible with wordpress. Is this postCss a plugin for Wordpress? Seems unnecessarily complicated.

> [cdn.tailwindcss.com](http://cdn.tailwindcss.com) should not be used in production. To use Tailwind CSS in production, install it as a PostCSS plugin or use the Tailwind CLI: [Installing Tailwind CSS with Vite - Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/installation)
