  I bought a template from Modern Theme. It’s downloaded on my computer, but when I’m on my WP dashborad, I don’t have the add new option in my appearance/theme menu. Where can I find it?
  Thanks!

  Hi There!

  Unlike on self-hosted WordPress.org sites, custom themes are not supported at WordPress.com sites therefore there is no option to upload custom theme on your dashboard. We have our own collection of themes at WordPress.com and the theme needs to be selected there and then activated:

  https://theme.wordpress.com/

  You can learn more on how to work with themes at WordPress.com here as well:

  Themes

  In addition, I recommend reading through the following support pages that explain the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org sites:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Please let me know if you have any questions.

  Cheers!
