Preview different from result
-
I’m trying to replace my blog theme. I’ve found that the preview looks like what I want, but when activated it’s totally different ( colors, widgets ) on my blog. What am I not understanding?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

hello there,
May we please have a link to the blog in question? Also note that CSS is theme specific. If you have custom CSS and later change themes, you need to delete whatever CSS you have in the Editor, otherwise, you’ll get undesired results. To ‘reset’ a theme, you need to delete the CSS in the Editor, make sure the “add to existing CSS” radio button is checked, then save. Things should go back to normal. -

Thanks timethief, I don’t think I have custom CSS. Sad to say I’ve no idea what all that means.

This is the Koi theme description > http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/koi/
This is the Koi live demo site > http://koidemo.wordpress.com/Adter we activate a new theme we go here > Appearance > Widgets and drag any former widgets we used previously inot the sidebar locations. Open them click “save” and click “close”.
The only differences I see immediately is that you have used colored fonts in your posts. That of course means that bo matter which theme you switch to those are the font colors you will see. The only way to remove that font color coding is to edit the posts in the HTML editor and change the color in the code. You have done one of the following and to chnage that you have to edit your posts undo what you previously did.
(1) Changing font families, colors and size in text in posts or pages either post by post or page by page by coding into the HTML editor. http://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/font-size-color/
(2) Changing font colors in text in posts or pages either post by post or page by page using the #4 icon (Select text color – change the text color) in Row 2 the Visual editor. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2

I am aware of that. How did you get the fonts in the post to be red, blue, etc. in color? Did you simply copy and paste text from somewhere else into your posts?

Okay now I understand you did this:
(2) Changing font colors in text in posts or pages either post by post or page by page using the #4 icon (Select text color – change the text color) in Row 2 the Visual editor. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2
You can edit your posts and change the font colors the same way you did to begin with if you want to.Do you have any other issues?
