  I have a free wordpress page. It uses the Dara theme (default, I think).
  I want to remove the site identity space and change the color of the primary menu bar. Is this possible? I can’t figure out how to do this.

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

  If you have the Premium or Business upgrade http://wordpress.com/plans and use Custom CSS, you can opt to apply custom CSS to a WordPress.com theme.

  Note 1: If you have the required upgrade you can use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can create a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need with CSS editing.

  Note 2: You can also post there prior to purchasing an upgrade to get an answer to whether or not what you want to do can be accomplished via CSS editing.

  I have another free account, the only thing I added was the domain name. I can access all of the colors and banners etc, change them, add or remove them..
  Is this a theme issue, or has wordpress changed?

  Also, I can’t purchase a domain without a plan?
  Clearly this has changed, the other site I maintain is free and I only pay for the domain name.. Now wordpress wants me to sign up for a full plan just to get a domain?

  Hi there,

  I have another free account, the only thing I added was the domain name. I can access all of the colors and banners etc, change them, add or remove them..
  Is this a theme issue, or has wordpress changed?

  Different themes do have different features. What is the URL of your other site and were you able to change the space and color of the primary menu unlike the Dara theme?

  Also, I can’t purchase a domain without a plan?

  As of almost two years ago, you can no longer register or map a domain individually with WordPress.com. Moving forward, domain subscriptions can be purchased as a part of one of our many plans here. This recent domains with plans only update was made as we continue to work diligently to provide the best WordPress.com experience for both users who choose to purchase a plan as well as those who choose the free plan.

  Our personal plan ($48) is a great option for those who primarily want to register a domain with us. In addition to the domain subscriptions, you also get no ads on your site and access to live chat support with our wonderful Happiness Engineers.

  If you look over the plans that we offer and do not think they are the best fit, purchasing and setting up a self-hosted WordPress.org site through reliable hosts such as Flywheel, Siteground, Pressable, and Bluehost is also a great option.

  Thanks!
