  rosemarynazar.com is hosted by Unified Layer
  Name Servers:
  ns1.bluehost.com
  ns2.bluehost.com

  That site on our WordPress.COM servers. You are posting to the wrong support forum.

  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/

  This is wordpress.COM support. We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
  (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
  (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.
  (3) sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.

  wordpress.org support
  The wordpress.ORG support forum is at http://wordpress.org/support. The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/

  Jetpack support
  Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.com/support/
  Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
  http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack
  However, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
  See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support.

  Hi Rosemary, there isn’t a way to have two themes installed at the same time with WordPress. You might want to set up a test site with your new theme first, get everything fine-tuned as you like, and then transfer over the theme and your settings to the live site when you’re ready.

  If you need further help, feel free to post in the WordPress.org forums, as timethief mentioned:

  http://wordpress.org/support

  These forums are for folks hosted here on WordPress.com.

  Hi Rosemary,

  Just to add – you could also use a plugin like Theme Test Drive to display one theme to visitors while you work on redesigning your site with the new one.

  Great idea, Gary! I forgot about that plugin. ;-) Looks like it hasn’t been updated in a while, but might work just fine, worth testing!
