  I am working with the theme Big Brother. I can’t save the personalized colors and CSS.
  In the personalizing windows everything seems to work properly and to be saved correctly, but then on the web page nothings changes.
  If I go back to the personalization page I still see the correct changes. It not a chace problem?
  Any idea?

  Thank you

  Thank you, it’s not really a CSS problem. I can personalize everything in the ‘personalize’ page but not saving.

  WordPress.com sells custom design upgrades. They allow us to “preview” change that do not actually display on the blog unless we purchase the upgrade.

  If you have not purchased the custom design upgrade note that no changes you try out aside from those such as Custom Background, Custom Header, etc. which are stated on the theme description pages in the features column (right hand side) will be visible to visitors.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-fonts/

  You do not need to load the design tools unless you have the Custom Design upgrade. All of these functions can be accessed from your dashboard – without loading the custom design tools – no upgrade required.
  Appearance > Header
  Appearance > Background
  Appearance > Theme Options (applicable only to some themes)
  Settings > Reading (set a static front page)
  Site Title and Tagline > Settings > General

  If you are using the preview mode for the Custom Design upgrade some of the settings in that mode will save but they won’t show up on the front end unless you purchase the upgrade.

  To go back to the free options, go to Appearance → Themes → Customize → Colors and click the “exit the preview” link in yellow at the top of the panel on the right.

  Everything clear, thank you
  I was little bit confused because with other themes everything worked fine.
  Perfect

  Matt,

  Did you actually resolve the issue the CSS and/or personalizing of the Big Brother theme not saving? If so, what did you do differently.

  Thanks

  Not really.
  I understood that if you use this particular theme without buying the upgrade, you will be able to change vary few details. No colors changes, no CSS change. So far I understood….
