  I’ve purchased a third party theme, and I am unable to add it. I am hosted by wordpress, yet have purchased the domain name. Please help, the “Add New” button doesn’t appear on my themes page.

  A theme purchased elsewhere cannot be uploaded and installed on a WordPress.com hosted site.

  If you really want to use your new theme, you’d need to buy hosting from another provider and set up your site using the free software from WordPress.org: https://wordpress.org/

  If you decide to stay on WordPress.com, contact the theme seller about a refund.
