Add new theme
-
Hello,
I downloaded wordpress on my computer to be able to add a “downloaded theme”, I started it but then (still don’t understand why) I can’t do it anymore, when I go to appearance -> Theme -> there is no more the “add a new theme”… And all the things I have done haven’t been uploaded.
How can I manage that ?Thanks
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

That “add a new theme” link exists only on WordPress.ORG software installs. It does not exist on WordPress.COM hosted blogs.
The only themes we can use on WordPress.com hosted blogs are licensed and adapted to run on our multiuser software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and in your dashboard at > Appearance > Themes
There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs for security reasons and we cannot:
upload any third party themes,
create child themes,
create our own themes,
edit templates,
create own own layouts,
or use stylesheets from other themes.Relevant support docs:

http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/You cannot upload any third party themes into a WordPress.COM hosted blog so be clear on that. There is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.
WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can create themes, upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, and edit the database, etc. If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install.
