# Child Theme & Edit CSS

 * I created a child theme. I have successfully used edit CSS to make edits to the
   code.
 * Now I have a question. Remeber I am a Newbie.
 * When you enter the code in edit css and click save, where is it stored? Where
   can you view it? I go to the FTP and click on the child theme but the only files
   say style.css and rlt.css (not sure on sequence of letters with rlt but you get
   the idea). Where does edit css tool store the code I entered?
 * Thanks

 * You should be able to view your changes via Jetpack’s CSS module itself.

 * No I mean how do I get to the actual database that contains the changes (i.e.
   code) I entered into the edit CSS?
 * Sorry for the confustion.

 * Why do you need to go into the database?

 * I used it to change the layout of my comments. There are two that are required.
   I wanted to view the code to decide if I wanted to enter anything else to make
   adjustments

 * You do NOT do that via the database. You can do it via Appearance -> Edit CSS.

 * I am trying to edit my 2011 child theme…only the nav. bars I could change the
   color…both these sites have child themes , but everytime I edit…only the nav.
   bars can be edited. What’s wrong?
