    Hi WP,
    I have signed up to an online wordpress account in the last week. I am trying to edit my stylesheet and I seem to have lost the ability to use this and instead I am continuously asked by WP to upgrade to the custom css facility. I was told that if I go to Appearance then Editor I would find the ability to edit my stylesheet but unfortunately that option isn’t on option to me and instead I only have customisation which takes me to all the themes or custom css which is the upgrade on payment option. Can you help me please as I am starting to lose the will to live with WP.
    Thank you
    Sharon

    Yes, you need the CSS upgrade to make changes to the CSS of your blog.

    I’m extremely confused as I don’t understand why I can no longer access the style sheet without having to pay for an upgrade. Is this the case with all themes now? It seems to defeat the whole object of wordpress.com. Is this a recent change and is there no workaround?

    I’m happy to try a different theme if that makes a difference, I’m just selecting trial themes at this stage. I’m happy to pay for a theme but not to have to pay additional charges to change the domain name and also now to change any CSS.

    Please advise,
    Sharon

    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.
