 * this may be a dumb question, but I can’t understand why my colors aren’t changing.
 * I see this message: “The color options only work if use custom menu for primary
   menu in appearance -> menus”
 * I am only using a custom menu. it is called “main” and I have it set as the primary
   menu. Yet none of my color changes appear.
 * I must be missing something very basic. Please help.

 * I’ve tried that, several times, to no avail. That’s why I think I missing something
   basic about the menu requirement.

 * the link direct to coming soon page so i can’t check the live site source code.
 * ps: assuming you have saved the wp-admin->theme option->category color/page color/
   right?

 * yes, I’ve saved the color changes. I can open up the category color page and 
   all the colors I entered are there.
 * I forgot about the Coming Soon page. Is there a way you can see the source code
   with that turned on?
 * I’m making the changes and definitely saving them, but they don’t even show up
   in the “Customize” tool.
