Question posted in 
For a final assignment I need to make a website in wordpress. I’m making it using an existing theme and Elementor, a drag and drop website builder. I used a shortcode widget to get posts with the tag ‘featured’ displayed on the homepage. However it doesn’t look very pretty. The theme & page builder I’m using only offers custom css for those that pay for the pro version. Is there a way to work around this and maybe add css directly to a file somewhere?
This is the shortcode I use to display the posts with the ‘featured’ tag:
[display-posts tag="featured" include_date="true" date_format="F j, Y" image_size="thumbnail" include_excerpt="true" wrapper="div" posts_per_page="1"]

Typically there is an Additional CSS section in the Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS section from the admin dashboard. You can put custom CSS there.
You can use the child theme then put your custom CSS code to the file style.css in the child theme folder.
Simply create a child theme with this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/child-theme-generator/
