  Hi, I’ve been trying for 4 hours, searched many outdated sites referring to old versions of wordpress, so this is my last option :(

  I’m trying to edit my themes code. However, in my Dashboard, I do not have Theme Editor where it should be. And when I go to Plug Ins in my customiser, it only gives me an option to upgrade from Premium to Business.

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

  Blogger installed plugin capability does not exist on WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality. You are confusing WordPress.ORG and WordPress.COM. For that type of functionality you’d need a self-hosted site running on a paid web hosting service.

  See here for details on purchasing the annually renewable Premium bundle http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/ that contains a custom design upgrade required for CSS editing:

  Note that 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 after purchasing the required upgrade.

  Be aware that this is the wordpress.COM support forum. We provide support only for WordPress.COM hosted blogs, not for wordpress.ORG software installs.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ Get hosting here http://wordpress.org/hosting/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
