  I recently bought a wordpress theme off creative market and I am having trouble installing it! It says there should be an option to ‘add new’ at the topof appearance> themes. I can’t seem to find it. I am also having trouble downloading plugins from wordpress such as Genesis, Ninja forms and Meta Slider. Help please!

  Hi,

  On WordPress.COM, you can’t use any third party themes. The themes you can use on WordPress.COM are here: https://theme.wordpress.com/

  If you want to know more about themes on WordPress.COM, please refer to the following support page: https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/

  Most of the popular plugins are included automatically within all the site hosted on WordPress.com. Other plugins can’t be added to WordPress.com regardless of the upgrade.

  If you want to get buttons on your site, then perhaps you may consider self-hosting WordPress.ORG.

  Please have a look at this link to learn about the differences between WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Happy blogging!
