Writing/Editing CSS with 2022 doesn’t seem to work

The only CSS I see in your stylesheet is this:

input#name-6206a3671c081 {
    width: 200px!important;
    float: left!important;
}

I am assuming that you’re trying to reference “name” input field in your contact form. However, the ID in the CSS doesn’t match the one in the HTML source:

input#name-620ac59e0d117

No, I haven’t bothered adding any more, because nothing happens when I do. That’s there, but it has no effect. I’ve tried a number of other tags, but nothing is being ‘seen.’ I’m wondering if I should even be trying, or is this just something this theme doesn’t support.

I use the editor in the Customize section – and find it works very well.
You can find it by adding /wp-admin/customize.phpto your site url.

Yes, that does work. Thank you. My vote, add this to the regular menu. I missed this ‘customizations’ for the CSS access and the favicon entry.

Just a note, at first I thought you were saying I had to add a file named customize.php to the theme. My bad.

@keress – Yes, my description was a bit vague (sorry) but I’m glad it works for you.
On some of our sites, once you use the Customiser, it appears in the sidebar under “Appearance” but it doesn’t always appear there, so I have to remember the address!
There’s talk that they will ditch the Customize panel altogether soon, but I fear that will be a bad move. I really hope they don’t, unless they provide some other way of customising with CSS.

At one point I was following this Youtube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ThMIssK3IY, and saw something about a .json file I needed to make use of. I’ll have to watch it again. Not much recall there, I’m afraid, from last week. But when I added that a customization menu appeared and I felt like I had my moorings back. Or maybe it was because I was using a Bricksy theme. I prefer learning how to build sites from WordPress defaults (via child themes). Hoping this proves to be the most versatile, with faster development time. I know my CSS quite well, but it can be so labor-intensive I have trouble staying competitive. Hate to think it’s slated to become a lost art.

Thanks for your input.

The thing I love about customising CSS with the Customiser, is that you can (usually) see whether your code works, immediately. With child themes, you have to keep uploading and then checking in the browser – very time consuming.
Customiser is FAR quicker.

Older post, so not sure if anyone will respond? Can someone please clarify “Add /wp-admin/customize.php to the site URL”? Add it where?

After the url of your site.

After it where? In Settings/General “WordPress Address (URL)”??

https://yourwebsiteurl.com/wp-admin/customize.php

Sorry to be a nuisance Keress, but I Keep asking where to place this?

Place it in your browser, you know, where you put all your url’s when you’re calling up a site. Or, where you put your search terms when you’re searching for something.
