  I’m trying to do the following:

  – Buy this theme: http://zukidemo.wordpress.com/#contents
  – Add it to a wordpress site I have on a separate hosting from the wordpress.com account I have.

  Is it possible to download the theme after I bought it so I can add it to any other site I want? I want to specifically add the theme to my site which is a wordpress site hosted at an external company.

  I tried searching the built-in theme searcher but the theme I want didn’t show up.

  It is not possible to run any theme that is licensed and adapted to run on WordPress.COM software on any other site. The theme for sale here are for use only on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. To purchase a version for WordPress.ORG software contact the theme designer directly please http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/by/elmastudio/
