    Hello,

    the following site describes how to edit theme files:

    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Editing_Files#Using_the_Theme_Editor

    It says there are two ways to edit theme files:

    1) Access the Theme Editor from the Administration > Appearance > Editor menu.

    2) Use the Plugin Editor located at Administration > Plugins > Editor.

    However, neither one is available in my dashboard, although I am the administrator and I am using WP Premium.

    I DO have “Administration > Appearance”, but under “Appearance” there is no “Editor”. Furthermore, I do NOT have “Administration > Plugins”.

    Can anyone help me, please?

    You probably will want to know which version of WP I am using. However, I don’t know. Where can I look this up?

    Thanks,
    Thomas

    I am using WP Premium.

    What do you mean by that?? Are you using WordPress.com?

    Yes, I’m using “WordPress.com Premium”.

    This is what I purchased:

    https://store.wordpress.com/premium-upgrades/pro-bundle/?ref=newdash-footer

    It says:

    “Choose custom fonts and colors with Custom Design, or go under the hood with the CSS editor.”

    However, as described in my last post, I canNOT find a CSS editor in either of the following menus:

    1) Administration > Appearance > Editor menu

    2) Administration > Plugins > Editor

    The only thing I can find in the dashboard is:

    Appearance > Customize

    When clicking on “Customize”, a new windows with my blog opens including a blue sidebar on the right, which offers the following options:

    – colors
    – fonts
    – front
    – site title
    – css

    When clicking on “css”, the file is empty. So, obviously, this cannot be the style.css file. Instead, I have the impression, that I can enter css commands here that are additional to the regular style.css sheed. For instance, I entered the following code to get rid of the shadows that were automatically added to any graphic included in my blog (by the way, I’m using the twentytwelve theme):

    .entry-content img,
    .comment-content img,
    .widget img,
    img.header-image,
    .author-avatar img,
    img.wp-post-image {
    box-shadow: none;
    }

    And this actually worked. The shadows are gone!

    However, I want to change four other things on my blog:

    – change the color of the hyperlinks (hover and visited)
    – reduce the distance between the menu bar and the headline of the site contents below
    – put a graphic in the very top of the page (where, at the moment, the site title and subtitle are)
    – delete the empty area below my facebook- and amazon-buttons (there are a white area and horizontal grey lines that I cannot get rid of)

    Here is the website I’m talking about:

    https://www.diebegruendungderwelt.com

    I have the impression that I need to edit the style.css file to change the above-mentioned four things. But as described above, I cannot find the css editor.

    Thanks for your help!

    There is actually a difference between .com and .org

    You will have better luck with the folks over at the .com support.
