  Hi, I can’t find the add new button in themes. It doesn’t appear.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there. I don’t think there’s an Add New button in themes. In the themes gallery you’ll find the options to preview or activate a theme, or to view the support document for that theme. If I’m misunderstanding what you’re looking for, let me know.

  Hi,

  Maybe I’m wrong. I found a theme that I liked on a blog heading “free themes for wordpress” and read somewhere that I could add this theme to the ones already existent through this “add new” button. However I am a brand new user so I might be wrong!

  Thanks for your help!

  That blog probably offers themes for use on WordPress.ORG. They have the ability to upload custom themes or even create their own. On WordPress.com we can only use the themes listed here: http://wordpress.com/themes/

  You can see here for more information on the difference between .com and .org:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
