I am trying to make a custom subclass of barbarian and want to give them a +1 to strength every four levels and allow them to get higher than 20. Can anyone explain how to do that?

To properly implement a set of modifiers to break the cap of 20 imposed by the system requires a combination of two modifiers:
Modifier: Bonus->Subtype: Ability Score Maximum->Ability Score: [Abil]->Fixed Value: X
Modifier: Stacking Bonus->Subtype: [Ability]->Fixed Value: Y
The first Modifier raises the maximum for the designated ability score to a number equal to 20+X, the second Modifier actually adds a bonus of Y to the designated ability score capable of exceeding 20 up to that newly designated maximum.
To accomplish what you want, the first Modifier only needs to be applied once. The second Modifier would have to be applied every 4 levels. I hope that helps.

Normally ability bonuses are Modifiers -> Bonus -> Strength Score, Fixed Value: 1. But that does not allow above 20.
As the ability to bypass the 20 cap is a function of the base class and not a subclass, that modifier may not be available in the homebrew tools.
I would try Modifiers -> Stacking Bonus instead.
