  Hi there,

  Did you purchased the theme within WordPress.com or from a third party?

  WordPress.com users can use any of the 370+ free and premium themes found in their Dashboard and our Theme Showcase at https://wordpress.com/themes/

  Any other theme you may find online is meant for use with a self-hosted site using the standalone WP (org) software. If you intended on using it on your above WordPressdotcom website, you’ll want to request a refund from wherever you purchased the theme.
