Changes don't seem to be taking?
-
Thanks to some earlier advice, I’ve FINALLY managed to get the hang of making changes to my new blog on WordPress. I even managed to import my old blog from Blogger (yay!).
BUT
I go to Customise, and I change the fonts and the colours, etc, etc. Then, when I type in my blog URL (I’ve gone for self-hosted), it looks nothing like that at all! When I go to ‘View Site’ from my dashboard, it looks totally different again! Any ideas why?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate documentation and support forums. http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.

WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page -
If you are referring to http://thebuttercupbaker.wordpress.com/ or to any WordPress.COM hosted blog then it is hosted by WordPress.COM and the support docs for it are at http://support.wordpress.com
WordPress.com sells bundles upgrades. We can “preview” changes in the theme customizer 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/custom-fonts/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.
