  Yes, you can purchase the Everglow theme once and use it on another platform that supports WordPress, as long as the license allows it. Here’s what to consider:

  1️⃣ Theme Licensing – Check the terms of the theme’s license (e.g., from ThemeForest or the developer’s site). Most premium WordPress themes are licensed per website, but some allow use on multiple sites if you buy an extended license.

  2️⃣ WordPress Compatibility – Ensure the other platform is self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org). The theme won’t work on WordPress.com’s free/business plans unless it’s from their marketplace.

  3️⃣ Migration – If moving an existing site, you’ll need to:

  Install WordPress on the new host.

  Upload/install the Everglow theme (via ZIP or FTP).

  Reapply settings (some themes support demo import/export).

  4️⃣ Support & Updates – Verify if your license includes updates/support for the new site. Some developers tie support to the original domain.

  For specifics, review the theme’s documentation or contact its support team. Hope this helps
