Where are the changes made in customizer stored?

I wanted to see if I could duplicate the changes I had made to a site on which I had used the GP Premium customizer (font sizes, colors, etc.), and found this thread, which I had hoped would answer my question: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/changes-made-in-customizer/
However, when I viewed wp_options using the instructions I found here - https://anathallo.net/view-edit-the-wp_options-table-from-the-wordpress-dashboard/ - I couldn't see any css. Is it possible to find that anywhere? I realize I can use the "inspect" tool but since I did a lot of tweaking I thought it would be easier if I could see it all so I don't miss anything.
Hi there,
The Customiser CSS is printed in the <head> of the site - you will see it here on the inspect:
<style id="generate-style-inline-css" type="text/css"> </style>
Ah -- got it. Thanks!!
You're welcome.
BTW - you can use the export import module to transfer Customiser settings to other sites. Its in the Appearance > GeneratePress.
oh wow, that's excellent!
:)
OK, this is weird - I can see all the customizer settings that were brought over from the old site, but they haven't taken effect. Is it because I'm using a child theme?
The site is http://interbridge.com/test/ - it's password protected; the password is "lee"
I'm trying to bring over the styles from http://leegoldberg.com/
Eventually my hope is to add the child theme to http://leegoldberg.com/ so I can update GeneratePress without overwriting the modifications I made to the theme files.
Have you cleared caches including the browser?
Yes - and I even tried viewing it in Safari, which is a browser I generally never use (I mainly use Firefox and Chrome).
Note: CSS that you have added to the Additional CSS in the customiser are locked into the theme, they won't copy across with the import module.
I had already copied over the Additional CSS, though.
Do you have all the same modules activated on both sites? The main differences i can see look to be typography related.
Yes, all the same modules are activated.
Along with typography (i.e. the site title should be in uppercase) there are some other differences, like the size of the navigation bar.
That's strange, what happens if you disable dynamic CSS caching in "Customize > General"?
I just did that, and it didn't help, unfortunately!
