  my site: http://rovingcrafters.com/

  I recently upgraded from a free site to premium. I mapped the “xxx.com” domain to my site (and that worked fine). The ads that came the free version of a wordpress blog have in fact disappeared However, I do not seem to have the improved options in my wp-admin dashboard.

  Specifically I do not have the “Editor” option under Appearances. I can’t get to my style.css file.

  Any help would be much appreciated. I’m sure I’m overlooking something simple and obvious.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I guess you are telling me users modify the css through the Customize feature instead of directly editing their style.css file?

  Sorry but I’m not sure I understand. I’ve been reading the forums and I see over and over instructions for how to ID the the place you want to change by first viewing the page source code and then modifying the style.css file using a txt editor. Is that method superseded by this Customizer?

  I do not help with CSS editing. There are those who help in the CSS Forum. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization All I know is that to access the CSS editor, you go to My Sites → Customize → CSS.

  If you look at stuff for WordPress.ORG installs you will have problems – you can’t edit the CSS files directly at WordPress.COM – you ADD css changes per the instructions above by @TT – then your new CSS changes are scanned last and last scanned rules

  Ok. Thanks to both for your help. I probably was trying to follow “.org” instructions.

  You be welcome – the .ORG guides are almost always a problem with blogs here
