"add theme" or "install theme" button is missing
-
I purchased a theme other than WordPress and I was trying to install the theme but I can’t find the button on my appearance>theme.
Is “add theme” or “install theme” button for only premium users? I didn’t upgrade but only purchased domain.
Is there any solution for this problem?The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I haven’t found any solution for this problem. I guess I need to upgrade to premium but I want to make sure whether purchasing upgrade is necessary for installing theme before I pay it.

A download button isn’t missing, it is simply not available for WordPress.COM sites. The only themes offered for free .COM sites are found in this directory.
Third party themes can only be downloaded to WordPress.ORG sites.
The two platforms, .COM and .ORG, are completely different and run on different software.
No upgrade will allow you to download a third-party theme to your WordPress.COM site. If you have purchased an outside theme, check to see if you can get a refund.

belleminimalist & francofelixfranco – as ifmomsaysok mentioned above, WordPress.com comes with a curated collection of themes that you can explore here:
It’s not possible to upload third-party themes here – for that, you need to have a self-hosted site running on your own server.
If you let me know which themes you purchased I might be able to help you find something similar on WordPress.com.

@tcrawford4: This is support for WordPress.com. The theme you purchased is for self-hosted (sometimes referred to as WordPress.org) sites.
You can check out the following links to learn more about the differences between WordPress.com and self-hosted sites like yours:
