Noob question regarding upgrading. Does the upgrade only apply to one theme?

  So if I changed themes from my existing one I would need to pay more money to upgrade again? I’m talking about paying the $30 to upgrade my free koi theme, for instance.

  Thanks for any relevant info on this :)

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

  Correct, you are purchasing a specific premium theme for whatever money it costs. If you want, another theme, you will pay another fee. It can quickly get expensive which is why WordPress.com also offers Unlimited Themes for $120 USD per year.

  Thanks for your reply, really appreciated.

  Just to clarify, I was meaning the basic $30 upgrade that allows me to change font etc without having to use that mind boggling CSS thing (lol of despair!). If I got that upgrade is it only going to work for my Koi theme, or would it work on other free themes, or a Premium theme too?

  No, not correct.

  Upgrades are per blog, not per theme. You would still have the Custom Design upgrade, but the customizations you made to koi won’t be appropriate for a different theme. You can still customize any theme you want, but you will have to use different code.
