    Hello all

    all of a sudden I can’t edit my fonts in ‘Customize’ as I used to., Suddenly I have a KidID that I don’t want to use (thanks WordPress)

    How do I turn this off? It says ‘disable advanced mode to enable this control’ – any thoughts?

    Many thanks

    Does this help? 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.

    For clarity, WordPress.com sells custom design upgrades. They allow us to “preview” change 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.

    You do not need to load the design tools unless you have the Custom Design upgrade. All of these functions can be accessed from your dashboard – without loading the custom design tools – no upgrade required.

    I may be missing something here – I am an upgraded customer and I am having the same problem which is HOW TO DISABLE ADVANCED MODE – as the initial question at the top is asking – I will re-read this again here, maybe I missed it; did this question ever get answered???

    I inadvertently solved my own issue here; I assume the initial user did the same. I never had a type kit font ID entered but for some reason the customized font option was kicking me back that same error (to disable advanced mode)… …maybe it somehow got plugged into my custom CSS, I really don’t know. But I do know that this is somehow related to typekit and the custom design tab in the appearance section.

    Hi Jenmedia, I am experiencing a similar problem. Would you be able to explain how it is you managed to solve the issue?
    Many thanks!

    Never mind – I stumbled across the solution. For those who are interested, I simply clicked the Create a TypeKit ID button whilst leaving the field blank, and it worked a treat!
