Can't change background image or colors?

    I am having an issue changing the image and colors. I get everything the way I like, and I press “Save”, and it just says that it’s “Saving my profile changes”, but then that screen NEVER goes away. Is there some reason that it isn’t working for me? My friend on here also said that she was having similar issues earlier in the week.

    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 unless you purchase an annually renewable custom design upgrade.

    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.
