  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 Premium bundle that contains 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.
  Premium bundle details http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/
  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/

  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.

  If you have purchased a Premium bundle then please use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can copy and paste your text into a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need.

  I can’t find the thread this question was filed in. In response to my question about accessing the Mimbo Pro theme’s coding, Supernovia said.

  “The upgrade allows you to override or even replace the theme’s CSS, however it doesn’t allow you to directly edit the theme files.

  You can edit your CSS with the Customizer, which you can find through your dashboard, admin bar, or My Sites menus. If you need to do more than edit the CSS, let me know what you’re trying to do and I’ll see if I can point you in the right direction.”

  I’d like to change the dimensions of the carousel pictures from letter box to square. The problem is the posts that are being pulled in there also appear in the category section where the image slot is square. It’s very difficult to size an image so that it works in both landscape and square. How would I make this change?

  Thanks.
