| Jun 16, 2020 at 20:14 | comment | added | mozboz | @023023 You can put the file wherever you want. The question is only what location works best for the way Wordpress works and what you're doing. My suggestion is to make your own theme and put the CSS in there as that is a good place, but there are many ways to do it. I'll write another answer with some other options | |
