    I’m using the Custom Community theme. I’m new to WordPress. I see the main style sheet on the server, but it says to add styles by going to Appearance > theme settings > css. I can find where to add the styles, but it’s in the dashboard which means I can’t use my code editor Sublime for coding, but further, I don’t know how to path to these styles now. So if I use a bg image, then how do I path to it since I can’t find this stylesheet on the server? The styles are just added in the head of the source code of the page.

    do I need to make a subtheme or child theme? Or can I even create a subtheme if I don’t have the premium version? It looks like I may have to have the pro. Is that correct?
    Thanks.

    You probably won’t need to. The theme is equipped with a user css option so that it can be modified without the need for editing style sheets directly.

    Dashboard > Appearance > Theme Settings > CSS tab > follow the directions for overwriting css.

    Probably not.

    Probably so. Take a look at Child Themes

    Take a little time to browse your dashboard menus. It takes some time to absorb everything that’s available to you there. You’ll find that theme options will differ with the theme. This particular theme has a large quantity of user options available at Dashboard > Appearance > Theme Settings >

    [edit] the developer tools in your browser, or add-ons such as Firebug for Firefox – and there are many favorites – can be very valuable tools for viewing source code from your browser. That will more often than not, give you a look at any actual paths and selectors you might want to modify from the theme options.
