Can’t customize WordPress site in the free version?

[ad_1]

As the title says, I’m trying to make a WordPress site as it’s required for a college assignment due tomorrow but I can’t customize anything. Every time I try to put in a new font or change a color I get a message that it can only be seen if I upgrade to the paid version. Part of the requirements for the assignment is that the site has some level of customization and design. I remember having a similar assignment for a different class last year but I had no issues then and was able to do whatever with the theme. I’ve tried searching everything I can think of online but I don’t get anything related to the issue. I feel like I’m being gaslit. Am I doing something wrong or is that just how it works now? Sorry for posting about [wordpress.com]) in a mainly [wordpress.org]) subreddit but I genuinely don’t know what else to do. Thanks.
