  Hi,

  I’m currently on the free wordpress plan as I’m only just learning how to use the site right now. I have 3 themes that were created using static HTTP for wordpress by a colleague of mine. I want to upload these themes onto my free wordpress blog, but I cannot find the the “add theme” button when I go to the themes page from the admin site. Is this not available for free blogs?

  Hi,

  Custom themes can be added to WordPress.com sites only if they are on the WordPress.com Business plan.

  You can see this on the WordPress.com pricing page: https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  Hope this helps. Let us know if you have questions.

  Thanks, so even if I have a personal plan I can’t upload my own themes?

  Yes, that’s not possible. Although you can pick from a range of free themes on the WordPress.com theme showcase, or buy premium ones shown there.

  This might be slightly off topic, but would I be able to host multiple websites under one plan. For example, if I have a business plan can I operate 3 different sites under it, or is it one plan per website?

  No. Each upgrade applies to a single site only and we are billed annually. There are no bulk deals.
