wp_admin_css() WordPress Function

The wp_admin_css() function is used to enqueue the default CSS file for the WordPress admin interface. This function should be called from the admin_enqueue_scripts action hook.

wp_admin_css( string $file = 'wp-admin', bool $force_echo = false ) #

Enqueues or directly prints a stylesheet link to the specified CSS file.


Description

"Intelligently" decides to enqueue or to print the CSS file. If the ‘wp_print_styles’ action has not yet been called, the CSS file will be enqueued. If the ‘wp_print_styles’ action has been called, the CSS link will be printed. Printing may be forced by passing true as the $force_echo (second) parameter.

For backward compatibility with WordPress 2.3 calling method: If the $file (first) parameter does not correspond to a registered CSS file, we assume $file is a file relative to wp-admin/ without its ".css" extension. A stylesheet link to that generated URL is printed.
