Hi there. I am using a custom scss file for Helium in a Wordpress Multisite installation. I am using the path/file:And editing using cpanel file editor.
public_html/wp-content/themes/g5_helium/custom/scss/custom.scss
In the custom.scss file I have some some simple changes to check everything's working:body p { color: blue; }
I save the file and recompile the css. Site is in development mode.
But the custom css doesn't seem to be being picked up. Was wondering whether there's some way I can test/confirm the path for the custom.scss file within Gantry or if anyone can see I'm doing anything stupid?!?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Make sure that yuou are not in production mode in Gantry 5 admin and have cleared cache.
Please would you post your URL, admin id and pswd in the secure tab of your post and I'll have a look for you.
Also, Please post your FTP logon, password and FTP URL in the secure area of your post.

1. I do need FTP access.
2. The WP user provided does not have access to see plugins.
3. You were in production mode
4. Helium template is out of date.
5. This appears to a multisite installation so that probably the reason although I do need to look further.

Ok you are using child themes and that page is using "blog-5" child theme so the custom CSS file needs to be /wp-content/themes/g5_helium/custom/blog-5/scss/custom.scss
I've now added one of those (with color "pink") and that does now compile in and work.
