  Hi there

  I was using this theme just fine on a wordpress.com hosted site.

  I’m moving the site to Bluehost and when I activate the theme on there, I no longer have an option for Colors & Backgrounds in the customiser.

  Any ideas?

  Hi! The color customizer you’re used to isn’t built into WordPress core — it’s only available on WordPress.com sites currently. There are other tools you can use, or you can view your old site’s source and copy the generated Custom Colors CSS code to the new site.

  Hoping this helps!

  Thanks, Is there an easy way of identifying the generated Custom Colors CSS for copying to the new site?

  Yes. If you’ll view the page source and search for custom-colors-css, the code will be just after that.

  Also, going forward, you’ll want to use the correct forums for self-managed installations, at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  All the best!
