Hi guys, I followed all the steps of the article by James Ruvalcava ( https://backdropcms.org/news/build-sub-theme-basis-default-frontend-theme-backdrop ) in local I got the results, but when uploading the subtheme to the hostin, I recognized the subtheme, but it does not recognize me the changes of css
Help Please.
PD: sorry for my english
@zilvervos - I don't have time right now to try and figure out exactly what is happening, but I can recommend a blog post that I wrote about how the color module works.

This might help you understand the source of your problem (but it might not).
Hello @willowf ; thanks for reporting.
Sounds like a cache issue to me. As a sanity check can you try clearing cache from the admin bar on your production site?
Hello, if I already did it, it does not recognize the css or changes in the .tpl of the Subtheme.
When analyzing the code, it links to the main theme css.
Locally it works.
Maybe the problem is permissions, what permissions should I put to the folders and files of the new Subtheme?
maybe temporarily disable cacheing and aggregation on `/admin/config/development/performance`
save
clear cache
see if your changes take effect.
It doesn't work ... but I just modified Basis and the Subtheme applies those changes.
It means skipping overrides
stylesheets [all] [] = css / component / header.css
stylesheets [all] [] = css / skin.css
From what you have said, this is probably NOT your problem, but just in case I will share this advice - because I ran into this recently.
If you save any color changes in the theme settings (using color module). Your theme will create new temporary css files. These files will override the main css files until you regenerate them by re-saving the color settings in your theme.
If you have not saved any color changes through the theme user interface, then this is probably not your problem, but it's still worth being aware of. We're trying to find a way to fix this.

He tried everything that was recommended to me, it still doesn't work, maybe the option Disable CSS / JS aggregation is not working.
Where can I manually activate to test it?
solved, I had a module that made a conflict colorbox ... Thank You
Can you share which module has this conflict?
I was trying to follow the instructions on how to create a subtheme (https://docs.backdropcms.org/documentation/creating-sub-themes and https://backdropcms.org/news/build-a-sub-theme-of-basis-the-default-fron...) but ran into the same issues as described above. None of the changes I made in skin.css in my subtheme folder had any effect on my website. But when I switched off the color module, both color changes in skin.css as well as font changes (from sans-serif to serif) were suddenly reflected on my website after I flushed caches. I would say this is a quite serious issue: it means subthemes don't work when color module is switched on.

@stpaultim That was very helpful. When I switched on the color module again, the style changes that I made in skin.css were undone again. But when I clicked "Save theme settings" on [site-url]/admin/appearance/settings/eriks_basis the style changes reappeared. I understand why this happens and I now know what I have to do to
Still, for new users this is quite unexpected and counter-intuitive behavior of the BackdropCMS software. Ideally this issue (and its solution) should be covered in the two posts with instructions how to create a sub-theme that I referred to in my previous post.
