  I just upgraded to premium for the blog thomasvangaal.wordpress.com. After upgrading the appearance of my theme ‘Hatch’ has changed. When i try to edit the settings and CSS the changes are not working.
  I edit the appearance of my blog (including CSS) and saved the new settings. After getting the notification that my new appearance is published, the settings change to the original settings. I hope you can help. I deleted my history and cookies.

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

  Hi Thomas – I note that you have a lot of CSS edits in your CSS editor. Did you paste the theme’s CSS in there? If so, that causes some display problems. Try removing it, and then just add your changes only into the editor.

  If that’s not the problem, can you please provide a couple of specific details about what looks off, and what changes you’re making that aren’t saving?

  I did not change anything in my CSS. So that must be a mistake in the theme. As I tried to explain. Before upgrading to premium everything was good.

  What looks off is the titles of the blog on the home page. The spacing between the letters is set to -3px. And that is really weird if you ask me. So when i try to change it to 0px it looks good in the ‘change design’ page, but after publishing it is changed back to -3px.

  Hi Thomas – That was very strange. Somehow there was an old revision of CSS stored in your revisions that was being applied repeatedly. I removed that, and things should be normal again.

  How odd. Do you have anyone else who works on your blog through your account?

  If this happens again, the way to fix it is to go to Appearance->Customize->CSS and select everything in that window, all that code there, and delete it, and then save.

  But the code certainly shouldn’t keep getting added in the first place. Can you walk me through any actions you took on your blog (however unrelated) before you last noticed this happening?
