Reviews

A plugin that meets expectations. Easy to use. Designer and developer friendly. Maybe you could add other cool features.
August 27, 2025
Development is so much faster and the support is fantastic.
July 3, 2025
As a developer, this tool has helped me a lot by eliminating the need to manually integrate Tailwind CSS into every theme or plugin I build. I just install the plugin and start using utility classes as usual — it’s super convenient. However, there are two main issues: IDE autocompletion doesn’t always recognize Tailwind classes provided by the plugin, which slows down workflow. CSS load timing — the WindPress-generated styles are injected late, causing a brief flash before styles apply (a few milliseconds delay). Overall, it’s a great tool that improves development speed, and I appreciate the effort behind it. Anyway, thanks to the developer for making this tool available on the WordPress marketplace — it really fills a useful gap.

An excellent tool for WordPress developers and designers! Windpress is extremely useful when you want to quickly prototype responsive layouts directly within the editor. Perfect for testing mobile and tablet versions without constantly switching to the front end. Lightweight, practical, and well-designed. Kudos to the developers!
