  Why can’t I install my theme?
  I just bought an Alien access, and want to upload the Hatch Pro theme to my blog.
  http://alienwp.com/themes/hatch-pro/

  In the tutorial there is an “Install Theme” button beside Manage Theme (Apperance – Themes). I can not seem to find this on my own blog.
  Can you please help me with this?

  Best,
  Anne

  Hello Anne,

  If you intend to blog here at WordPress COM then there is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we bloggers cannot install any plugins or upload any third party themes or software. Those are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

  The only themes we can use on free hosted WordPress.COM blogs are found on your dashboard here > Appearance > Themes

  There is no upgrade that you can purchase from WordPress.com that provides FTP access, the ability to install plugins, third party themes and software into free hosted WordPress.com blogs.
