 * Hello!
 * What is the preferred place to put custom CSS styles? Appearance – custom CSS
   or Customizer – Custom CSS / JS ?

 * Hello,
 * In OceanWP theme, try to add the custom css in the Customizer > Custom CSS section.

 * Thanks. But it’s interesting – what’s the difference? Why in OceanWP CSS option
   in customizer exists if we have “Appearance – Custom CSS” option already?

 * I don’t know exactly but I think it is because of the import/export function 
   under Theme Panel > Import/export which exports all the settings from the customizer
   including custom css.
