 * Hello. I am fairly new to WordPress and need to customize some aspects of the
   CSS theme being used on a WooCommerce site I have. Is there a better way than
   Google DevTools to look at an element on the screen and view its CSS and how 
   the inheritance is set up? Thanks!

 * Hey there DanaScarb,
 * Hope you’re well today 🙂
 * Using dev tools and inspector should be pretty much the easiest way to check 
   all the CSS that has been applied to a specific element and also the CSS that
   specific element inherits.
 * This is at least as far as I know 🙂
 * Best regards,
    Bojan
