  I bought a theme using elegant theme, and right now I’m using the premium account ($99). I know that for uploading the theme (Divi), I have to press the “Add” button, but it is not there… HOW DO I ADD MY OWN CUSTOM THEMES?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there. You can’t install themes you bought elsewhere on WordPress.com: http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  The only themes you can use here are the ones listed in the WordPress.com theme gallery, here: https://wordpress.com/themes/

  You’ll want to read this to make sure you understand the difference between WordPress.com and a self-hosted install of the WordPress software.

  You should find out if you can get a refund on that theme, as there’s absolutely no way you’ll be able to use it here. Those themes can only be used with self-hosted WordPress.ORG websites. WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and different: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
