 * Hi there! First of all thanks for this great tool!
 * I’m a newbie user, so have a question: where it is “right” to save generated 
   CSS? a) just save it in the plugin b) add to “custom CSS field of my theme (it
   allows it) c) create a child-theme and just copy CSS to the style.css of a child
   theme?
 * Thank you.

 * Yes, good question – I would like to know if the plugin generates a separate 
   CSS page? I assume so.
 * **[@ratatuj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ratatuj/)** – a).
    – if you 
   add CSS using the WordPress CSS editor your CSS will be overwritten each time
   your theme updates. So never use it. – Oh! you said “theme CSS editor”. You shouldn’t
   have to add CSS anywhere else with this plugin. If the plugin works I would remove
   the CSS from the theme CSS editor.
 * I don’t know a lot, but I think what I gave you is solid info.
 * A child theme is the best way, but for one or two small changes it seems like
   overkill. Which is why I chose this plugin – hoping/assuming it creates a separate
   CSS file.

 * Hi Everybody,
 * Thank you for the kind words, Ratatuj.
 * Currently, the plugin stores the CSS inline however we’re in the process of adding
   support for storing it in an external stylesheet instead.
