  Hello

  I read that WordPress.com now allows uploading custom themes, but I am wondering does this mean that I can upload a theme that I buy from ThemeForest the same way I do for WordPress.org or it’s a different type of themes?

  Hi isaal122

  – Yes, you can also upload the third party theme but to upload third-party theme you should be under the business plan as the business plan only offers to install third-party plugins and themes.

  Here is the support document for that how to add custom theme :

  Hope this helps.

  If you upload a third-party theme on a WordPress.com site with the Business plan, you should have access to the same theme features and settings as you would with any other host, unless it’s doing something unusual. :) If there’s something specific you’re wondering about or have a specific theme in mind, just let us know.
