  I recently bought a premium theme on wordpress.com. Now I want to move to wordpress.org. I know that I have to export all my data, but does that include my theme too?

  Hi, see this:

  Note: Premium Themes that are set up for WordPress.com use only cannot be transferred to self-hosted WordPress.org sites. Some Automattic-developed Premium themes can be transferred to a self-hosted site at no charge, as part of a Guided Transfer. Please post in the Premium theme forums if you’d like to know whether your theme qualifies.
