    Hi there! First of all thanks for this great tool!

    I’m a newbie user, so have a question: where it is “right” to save generated CSS? a) just save it in the plugin b) add to “custom CSS field of my theme (it allows it) c) create a child-theme and just copy CSS to the style.css of a child theme?

    Thank you.

    Yes, good question – I would like to know if the plugin generates a separate CSS page? I assume so.

    @ratatuj – a).
    – if you add CSS using the WordPress CSS editor your CSS will be overwritten each time your theme updates. So never use it.
    – Oh! you said “theme CSS editor”. You shouldn’t have to add CSS anywhere else with this plugin. If the plugin works I would remove the CSS from the theme CSS editor.

    I don’t know a lot, but I think what I gave you is solid info.

    A child theme is the best way, but for one or two small changes it seems like overkill. Which is why I chose this plugin – hoping/assuming it creates a separate CSS file.

    Hi Everybody,

    Thank you for the kind words, Ratatuj.

    Currently, the plugin stores the CSS inline however we’re in the process of adding support for storing it in an external stylesheet instead.

    Hi Helms,

    No ETA but it’s definitely going to be in the next major update.
