I am using Local on Windows 10 and made some changes to my WordPress child theme’s style.css file from the WordPress theme editor.
Then, I went into my Local site’s folder and navigated to app \> public \> wp-content \> themes \> custom-theme \> style.css
The file was not up-to-date with the edits that I made from within WordPress. Also, I tried editing the style.css file in VS Code and those changes would not appear in WordPress either. I even stopped the site and restarted it.
Can anyone help with this?
