Hi there,
Sure! You can change your theme by logging in to your dashboard and then going to Appearance >> Themes. You can select whichever theme you’d like. The one which you started your blog off with was “Untitled”.
If you’ve decided that you no longer want to use your premium theme, you can cancel it within your first 30 days of purchase and get a refund. Just make sure you do it within those first 30 days as it is non-refundable after that!

Thanks for your reply. However, we started with the Untitled theme and then switched to the Forefront theme, which was bought by my client.. I would like to completely delete the Untitled theme and switch to the Forefront theme. Once again, any help would be appreciated.
On a sidenote, if i log in to frankeelicous’ wp, it states that i still have to buy this Forefront theme. However, he did buy it already, so maybe right away check why we are not getting access to it. Thanks!

Ok, i found out i am using the forefront theme, the only question remaining is then how to get rid of all the changes and go back to the original unspoiled template / theme. And then I hope I wont bother u for a while ;-)

It doesn’t look like you’ve done much to customize your site as yet. You’ve uploaded a custom header, which you can remove by going to Appearance >> Header, however that’s just about it.
Please keep in mind that the demo site which you can see here:
http://forefrontdemo.wordpress.com/
Is what can be done with a theme. It is not what the theme looks like by default. You can get some help with how to design the theme to make it look more like the demo theme by looking at its support page right here:
http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/forefront/support/
And then there is also the premium theme’s forum page which is available right here:
Where the forum author will help you out if you get stuck on a particular point.

Hello again!
I am looking for the css files to change some things – like the background color of the header – and can’t seem to find them anywhere..
Then when i click on the place for css (in the menu on the right) it says I have to upgrade and pay even more money.. is this correct?
And if so, what did we get by buying the premium theme..?
Thanks in advance

And also, I am trying to make the page now titled #57 (NO TITLE) my homepage and delete the one that is now the home,…
I tried just about everything – even going through the multiple fora.. but i’m stuck

Hiya,
To address your most recent question, to set one of your static pages as your home page you can follow the instructions in this help page:
In regards to your other question, yes in order to modify your CSS you do indeed have to purchase the Custom Design add-on. You can read about this add-on right here:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/
There are over 200 themes which are available on WordPress.com. Some are available for free and some require a fee. Each have their own benefits. Some premium themes are more attractive while others have add-ons which improve their functionality. It’s up to each user if the theme they’re looking at is worth their investment.

Ok, let’s see if we can make this easier..
I would like to acquire a theme whereby I have control over the css, the layout – like a grid, getting rid of all the ‘comment fields’ etc (because it says the Forefront theme has 3 different layouts, like the grid layout, but then when I want to apply it, it doesnt allow me to).
So can you say how much all this costs to ‘upgrade’ the site so we have the full control over these tools..
And also, what exactly did we get extra from paying the first 75 dollars upgrade..?
Thanks,

I have gone exploring a little and found this tip:
Middle part with three different columnsTo create this section, navigate to Appearance → Widgets and drag 3 Text widgets to the Front Page Widget Area One box on the right side of the screen. Add your content to each widget and they will appear on your homepage.
Did this, but doesnt show up on my homepage (or anywhere else for that matter).
Another thing: I added the big picture that is now on the hompage as a background image (and then didnt see it anywhere). So have now put it as a ‘featured picture’. Please let me know how to get it as a backgroudn image so I can add text OVER the image as well as hopefully move the button up (that is now below it and green to boot!) How do i turn it purple..?
Sorry about all these questions, but things are just not working for me when i follow the instructions and tutorials…

In regards to your first email, there is no theme in WordPress.com which will give you complete control over the CSS of your site. That is only available via the Custom Design add on.
By purchasing this Premium Theme you got a theme which is more rare and a theme which hopefully you reviewed and decided you liked well enough to pay to have your site look along those lines. There is additional information about this theme available right here:
http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/forefront/In regard to the changes which you are attempting to make to your theme, you can read about how to make use of the theme’s features right here:
http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/forefront/support/There is also a forum which is specifically geared towards this theme which is managed by the theme’s author. You can read about what others have tried to do and if you run into issues you can post questions there:

Hello again,
After a break, I wanted to continue working on the site, and found it to be almost unrecognizably changed.. We had the Forefront theme and have bought all the extras so we would have full-control. After that I haven’t worked in it anymore. And now when logging in, it looks very different than last I worked on it..
The menu was horizontal at the top for example, and the backfground was a light grey etc..
Could you please advise?
Thanks in advance,

Hi there,
It looks like for some reason your site’s theme wasn’t loading the CSS file. I went ahead and changed your theme to another one and changed it back and it’s working just fine now. This is a very rare occurrence and I’ve never seen it happen before. It shouldn’t do so again, however if it does you can try doing the same!
