Hello, I'm using the Phogra theme for my site, and created a child theme to edit some css. The theme files contain a style.css file, as well as a css folder which has more in it. I've tried importing different files/folders to my child theme, but nothing I do is changing the appearance of my site. I know someone else asked a similar question, but I couldn't solve my problem based on the available answers.

Just inspect an element you know you changed recently and hover over the name of the CSS file (style.css in your case) in the right section of the DevTools and you'll see the full path for the CSS file, which should indicate which theme's CSS file is being used.
If you're using a caching plugin, you should clear it to see new changes.
