Where to put custom CSS for BP Child theme

I’m working on figuring out how to make customizations to my buddypress website. I hadn’t been able to find anything that made sense until I found THIS webpage, that I was trying to follow along with the tutorial.

This tutorial finally helped me figure out where the folders are supposed to go in my child theme folder, but I still for the life of me can’t get any CSS to change.

I’ve created both a file called style.css and custom.css that I have attempted to put in –

wp-content/themes/*mytheme*/buddypress/buddypress
and
wp-content/themes/*mytheme*/buddypress/buddypress

I have also attempted to change the style.css in my wordpress dashboard->appearance->edit page, with no results.

Thinking that maybe I was using the wrong #id or .Class somehow, I decided to try to put a red border around EVERYTHING just to see if I could get SOMETHING to work (* {border: 1px solid red;} ) and I can’t get anything to work in any location.

Can someone please help me figure out where this custom stylesheet is supposed to go? I’m going kinda crazy over here.

In your child theme, you’ll have a style.css file. If you don’t then you can create one so your folder structure will look like this:

wp-content/themes/your-child-theme/style.css
