Updating CSS by modifying the /layout/scss/main.scss file

Illdy
1

Hello Noda,

I am using the Illdy theme and would like to make some style changes by editing the main.scss file, however, I’m having trouble actually seeing my changes take effect.

I have a sass --watch /layout/scss/main.css:/layout/css/main.css task running when I make my changes but I may be compiling to the wrong .css file because I can’t actually see my changes take effect…

Can you please advise the proper way to make SCSS changes in the code? I realize I can overwrite styles by adding them to the customize > additional styles section but I’d like to make the change in the actual theme code itself if possible.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Cheers,

Good morning

First of all, editing theme core files is not a good idea, shortly you will lose any changes after we update the theme, and if you want little more information check it in the web,
Suggestion, use a child theme and add your new styles in the child theme, not in the theme files,
regarding the problem - i can’t say anything from here, this depends on your developing environment and configuration, also changes you are making and how you are making them,
