Missing Appearance tab
-
I need to be able to add/remove widgets but I am unable to do so because the Appearance tab is missing from my Dashboard. How do I enable Appearance? I inherited this blog from someone about a year ago but she is no longer available to respond to my questions.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

-Your Appearance tab is here:

Thanks for replying but nope, the Appearance tab is not there. I agree that the location you offered is where it should be, but the error states The page you requested does not exist, or you do not have have the necessary privileges to access it. I’m an admin who can access all other areas of my blog except for this one. Is there a special privilege (beyond admin–which is counter-intuitive) needed to get to the Appearance tab? I think that’s going to be the real question here. Thank you!!

The blog I need help with is infragardatlanta.org.
Are you refering to http://infragardatlanta.org/ or not?
That custom domain is associated with https://infraatl.wordpress.com
Then, my answer is correct.You need to go to
https://infraatl.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
for the admin pagehttps://infraatl.wordpress.com/wp-admin/themes.php
for the Appearance tabhttps://infraatl.wordpress.com/wp-admin/widgets.php
for the widgets section. -
“… or you do not have have the necessary privileges to access it”
It may be that you need to be logged in to WPcom with a different username account than this one.

The page you requested does not exist, or you do not have have the necessary privileges to access it.
You need the correct user & the password for log in https://infraatl.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

Yup, I believe this is a privilege problem. So my question is about privilege.
As far as I know (or assume), I am an admin on the site, because I can edit pages and upload content. But I cannot see the Appearance tab. This isn’t an issue about navigating to the Appearance tab, it’s about that tab showing up for me. It’s just not there.
Like I said, I inherited this blog from someone else. What do I need to ask her to do to ensure I have sufficient privilege? I am assuming I’m already an admin due to my current ability to modify content. What other roles are there?
Thank you!!

To see what role you currently have on that website, go to https://infraatl.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs and look in the Role column. If it doesn’t say Administrator you won’t be able to see the Appearance tab in the Dashboard.
