  I am trying to add a theme made from a outside source. How do I add the theme? I have premium plan, does that plan allow me to do that? Also do I need WordPress.org for the premium plan?

  Themes cannot be transferred between wordpress.COM sites and wordpress.ORG sites. Are you clear on that?

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you are referring to a wordpress.ORG software install on paid hosting and you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are separate and different. I think you could be confusing wordpress.com hosted blogs and wordpress.org installs on paid hosting.

  You cannot install any custom theme or any third party theme into any wordpress.COM hosted blog and there is no upgrade that changes that. There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

  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

  So with my Premium plan I cannot add a theme for a outside source? Only from WordPress.COM themes they offer?

  Do you wish to keep the domain URL and cancel the rest of the bundle of upgrades and move to a wordpress.ORG install?

  Hi there,

  It looks like you have already cancelled your Preimum Plan and a refund has been issued.

  Please let me know if you still need help with this.
