 * I had CSS in the customise section but it’s all gone now. I haven’t been on the
   website for a while, I started working on it again yesterday, I added a child
   theme and then updated the actual theme then I noticed that some of the elements
   on my website looked weird, so I went into the custom CSS section and I discovered
   there was nothing there. I use siteground to host, so I used the backup feature
   to load a backup from a month ago but the CSS was still gone.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcss-disappeared-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * The custom CSS option is specific to a theme. So when you added a child theme,
   it starts with its own blank Custom CSS. The original should still be in the 
   parent theme, which you can access if you switch to it.
    You can use the [Customizer Export/Import](https://wordpress.org/plugins/customizer-export-import/)
   plugin to save the parent theme options to a file, then switch to the child theme
   and import that file.
