Hi there!
Yes, when you update the theme any changes you make to the style.css file would be lost.
There are two ways to overcome this:
1) If you want to make major changes to your theme (such as editing page templates) then you can create a child-theme. Whatever changes you make to the files in your child-theme folder will not be lost when your theme updates.
2) If you just want to make a few style changes using CSS then you can install a custom CSS plugin such as Simple Custom CSS.
If you need any more help with either of those options just let us know and we’ll do our best to guide you through it.
I hope that helps 🙂

Thank you Luke.
I think I´ll go with the second option if needed. I have installed Child Theme configurator but to be honest, too complicated for me.
Now, I have looked for the plugin you mention but it says it hasnt been updated for over a year and not been tested on my version of wp. I see a few others which are compatible but far fewer instalations, such as Simple CSS and others.
Do you still recommend Simple Custom CSS? I trust your judgement!
Thanks again for your kind response

Hi Esther,
The Simple Custom CSS plugin is working great for me, so yes, highly recommended 🙂
Alternatively, if you have Jetpack installed you can activate the Custom CSS Module from the Jetpack dashboard.
Good luck with your site!
Thank you Luke!
I´ll try it then.
