Bought a premium theme-Linen, but appears I still need to buy a premium upgrade?
-
I was expecting to be able to customize my blog as I bought the premium theme Linen. However anything I try to customize it says “This feature is a part of the Premium Plan. Purchase to make it live”. The cost is £70 per year, is there no other way???
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

WordPress.com sells bundles upgrades. We can “preview” changes in the theme customizer that do not actually display on the blog unless we purchase the upgrade.
If you have not purchased the Premium bundle that contains the custom design upgrade note that no changes you try out aside from those such as Custom Background, Custom Header, etc. which are stated on the theme description pages in the features column (right hand side) will be visible to visitors.

To go back to the free options, go to Appearance → Themes → Customize → Colors and click the “exit the preview” link in yellow at the top of the panel on the right.

Thank you so much for your response!! Im wondering why I paid $79 for a theme if I still need to pay a yearly fee to customize it…..perhaps it makes more sense to get a free theme then pay for the upgrade….am I missing a benefit??

You don’t have to pay to use the theme customizer. http://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/ You only have to purchase an upgrade if you want to undertake customization beyond what the theme allows, and that’s made clear on the detailed theme description page.
