 * Hello.
    If I don’t wrong, the CSS customization of child theme in WordPress is
   stored in table wp_options `SELECT * FROM`wp_options`WHERE`option_name`LIKE '
   theme_mods_%'` Is there a way to decrypt the code to CSS or is not possible? 
   Am I missing something?! Thanks.

 * You are partially wrong.
    The options table contains an entry for each theme 
   you have saved options for, named like `theme_mods_`. If there is any Additional
   CSS, that entry will have a field with the ID of the `custom_css` post which 
   is in the posts table as a custom_css post type. You can use the [Customizer Export/Import](https://wordpress.org/plugins/customizer-export-import/)
   plugin to save the current theme’s options to a file. It will include the Additional
   CSS in as `wp_css`. You can import that to a different site or a child theme.
   You can also look in the code of the plugin to see how it is exported.

 * Good to know.
    For various problems I have installed completely WordPress in 
   a subdomain, I exported the most important tables which fortunately worked correctly,
   and copied all the files on the primary domain. In the previous database I had
   errors. It was easier this way than looking for errors, and correcting them, 
   without knowing where they were. Regards!
