Hi :) Thanks for reaching out.
Your CSS is saved to an external stylesheet, for example in my local install, the SiteOrigin CSS file is called as follows:
No child theme is required.
Hope that helps.
This FAQ page is outdated, I’ll fix it shortly:
Page: CSS Storage and Output
Previously CSS was outputted into an inline style block in the document head, that’s no longer the case.
Custom CSS is specific to the theme you’re using. To see this in action, go to AppearanceCustom CSS and add:
a { color: red; }Next, go to AppearanceThemes and change to any other theme, then, go back to Custom CSS, you’ll see it’s now blank. Finally, go back to AppearanceThemes and re-activate the theme you were using previously, then, check Custom CSS again, your CSS will be back. Basically, a long way of saying each set of Custom CSS rules is specific to the theme you have activated.
Apologies for any confusion in my first reply. Thanks.

Hopefully, that makes sense :)
