WordPress, finding css for Roots theme

Question

I hired a guy to make a WordPress website for me, http://www.brilliantzenaudio.com , and I need to make some changes. I'm a programmer (C++ and Python) so I'm going to attempt these changes myself. Apparently the guy I hired based the WordPress site on the Roots theme. I've been digging through some of the php code and I notice many "div" elements that have id's and class's like "header" and such. I assumed that the styling for these elements came from a css file somewhere. The only one I can find is style.css. And it has nothing but comments! Where can I find the code that styles these div elements?

Answer 1

You can find your css in /assets/css/app.css . Roots does not use style.css .

The roots theme places all your css/images etc into a folder called assets .

Inside assets you will find a folder called css .

Inside there you will find a file called app.css - this is what he should be using if he's using the roots theme.

Note: the assets folder can either be in your root folder or in your theme folder, depending on how the roots theme was configured.
