  Hello! I am trying to install a custom theme. I do not appear to have an Install Theme button on my dashboard when i click Appearance > Themes. Am I crazy for not finding it?

  Thanks,

  Megan

  Hi Megan,

  I’m sorry, but it’s not possible to upload a custom theme on WordPress.com:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  That’s a feature of self-hosted sites, using WordPress.org:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  You can choose from any of the themes available via your Appearance -> Themes page.

  Ok, so I have a self-hosted site.

  That is where I’m confused! My web guy installed it and now i don’t know where to log-in and change the appearance settings. I’ve uploaded the theme to my cPanel and everything. I just don’t know where to sign in.

  (Sorry if I sound like a moron)

  I’m sorry, but due to the differences, we can only support WordPress.com blogs here.

  I recommend asking the guy who set it up for assistance.
