  I’m having problems with the “Older Posts” option in my blog it’s not visible. I have it set up so that my home page are my latest posts and to show a maximum of 5 posts per page. However the option for a reader to look for older posts isn’t visible. When I go to customize, in the preview, it shows that at the bottom left corner the option for older posts should appear in green. I’m using the theme’s original color scheme option, yet I don’t know how to fix this issue.
  The blog I’m having issues with is: lexsolo.wordpress.com

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

  did you change your background color? When I go to your site, I can see that the older posts option is there (centered below your last post) but I can only see it when I highlight the area as there is almost no contrast between the text color and the background color.

  I actually didn’t change the background color, the them only gives me two 2 preset options, and I chose the dark one. So I don’t understand why it’s not showing.
  It’s also odd that the option for “older posts” is in the center since in the preview from the customize window shows it at the bottom left.
  :/

  I loaded your theme into my test blog and changed the background color both via the customize tab and the background tab.

  When I used the customize tab, it behaved exactly as you described, except that when I reloaded the page the “older posts” tab moved to the middle and was inside a white box so the text was legible.

  By using the “background” tab, the exact same behavior occurred, except there was no preview where the “older posts” link showed up on the left.

  In the short term, you might try changing your background color via the “background” link and see if you can get it to change in such a way that you at least make the “older posts” link legible.

  I’ll also tag this thread for staff support, as their may be a bug in the theme.

  Be sure to click the “notify me of follow up posts” box at the bottom of this thread so you’ll be notified when staff responds.

  Thanks Liz! Hopefully the staff fixes the bug. I really like how my blog looks with the black background :/

  Could you try choosing another colour other than black as the underlying background colour in the Customizer:

  

  I think that should allow the black “load more” button to be visible over the background. Let me know how it goes.
