Even if I am uploading the “tailwind\_for\_wp\_editor.css” file to the Editor style sheet, WordPress back-end remains un-styled UNLESS I upload the “tailwind.css” file. ![Screenshot 2023-10-18 at 15.04.38](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/pinegrow/original/2X/4/48294f1fd11053e287432920cd473c7b76e8de74.png) Anyone experienced anything like this? Thanks ---

@red-rosefields is the CSS file exported to the theme? (Check in the Project panel) If so, try regenerating the design by clicking on the design thumbnail in the Design panel and then exporting again. ---

Hello @matjaz Thanks for taking the time to answer. The css file is in the project folder. I can see the file with the inspector as well. ![Screenshot 2023-10-23 at 14.32.07](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/pinegrow/original/2X/7/7d977bdadb5e3c0955a7e14434179370e12fa84e.jpeg) I can see the file with the inspector as well. ![Screenshot 2023-10-23 at 14.47.57](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/pinegrow/original/2X/a/adf535c5690209e67913742bbe9334bca395fa0e.png) But the back-end remains unstyled. It only works if I load the tailwind.css Thanks in advanced. ---

@red-rosefields looks like the file is included in the editor correctly. The tailwind\_for\_wp\_editor.css does not contain reset CSS styles that make all headings, buttons etc look unstyled. So, the styling is somewhat different from what you get from regular tailwind.css. Can you post the image of how the block appears on the front end? ---

Any improvements around this @matjaz Some of my Tailwind blocks in the backend look horrible, and not so great for a client to use. ---

Comjng back to this. I was working on a client site yesterday, using Tailwind and Wordpress. I turned a block into a pattern. And then upon editing the pattern I discovered that Wordpress displays it completely intact, all the CSS 🤔. Why Wordpress wont do this for normal blocks with tailwind is really weird. 🤷‍♂️ Because it’s obviously able to see all the CSS. ---

Excellent @matjaz I am several days late posting some feedback here… Pinegrow 9.3 handles the Wordpress Backend CSS so much better. 🥳 It’s a lot better experience for a client when they login now (and for me 😄 ). Thank you Pete ---

Spoke too soon @matjaz Not sure if it’s WP or a Pinegrow update, maybe it’s both and the perfect storm. But the WP backend CSS is funny again. I couldn’t even see the content of a post or page in the editor, until I realised it was all below the fold and I had to scroll down. BG colours seem to be missing. Etc. 🤷‍♂️ Why does WP not like to play well with others. So tempted to go back to OctoberCMS 😬 ---

@PeteSharp can you please send more details to our support email, including screenshots and is possible the exported theme, at least the code without images, etc. ---

Sure. I will try to get that too you over the next few days. Thanks
