    Within Custom Design, the “Add-on CSS” radio button is not showing and the actual CSS is not loading. This means I am unable to do any edits.

    I have purchased the Upgrade Pro and have tried different browsers.

    Please help me. Thanks

    Your WordPress.com forums user profile is linked to this blog http://thechicoutdoors.org/ and I can see the CSS working properly for the home page.

    It sounds like you might be expecting CSS to show up in the add-on CSS editor in the Customize section though, and that’s not how CSS editing is setup to work on WordPress.com. The CSS editor is designed to let you add-on your own CSS on top of the original theme CSS. The theme CSS stays as is with “add-on” mode and you simply need to figure out what rules to add based on seeing the CSS through your browser to make changes. This page explains it in a bit more detail:

    To find what CSS rules to add, a good way to do it is to right-click on the element you’d like to change and select the “Inspect Element” option. That will pull up the HTML with the element you clicked selected and show all of the CSS that applies to that HTML on the right. To change something, copy down just the block for the thing you want to change, make adjustments, and paste the edited CSS into your Appearance → Themes → Customize → CSS editor.
