[resolved] Location of red.css file (10 posts)

    I want to change a color in the red palette. Where can I find the red.css file to make the change? In another thread, you said "On the styles folder, open the red.css file" but I can't find a folder named "styles." (I do see "stylesheet" but no way to access any of the palettes from there.) I'm looking in the "edit themes" page under "appearance" but I can't find it. I'm either blind or looking at the wrong page, LOL. Thanks for your help! (I love the theme!)

    You will find the style sheet for the red palette located here:

    /wp-content/themes/alkivia-chameleon/styles/red.css

    Because the red.css is located an additional directory deep in the theme structure, it may not appear in the WordPress built-in theme editor for you. You may need to access the file using your ftp client or the file manger in your control panel (if applicable) and then edit it from there.

    Thanks very much for the replies. Sorry, I'm a beginner at this. I'm not familiar with all the terms. Krembo, I assume the URL you are asking about is my web site address (?). If yes, that is included my original post. Clayton, since I cannot find red.css in the built-in theme editor I'm using, I want to try what you suggested but I don't know where to look. I use GoDaddy for hosting. Is that my ftp client? I apologize for not knowing the basics and I really appreciate the assitance!

    Clayton, I used the url you gave me (/wp-content/themes/alkivia-chameleon/styles/red.css) and pasted it into the browser address bar. However, it didn't open in the browser, it opened in Notepad. Now I can see red.css but I am not doing it correctly because I don't see a way to save changes back into the theme. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Clayton, Please ignore my last request. I've figured it out. I was able to find red.css at my host web site. Works great. Thanks for your assistance!
