  I cant upload a new theme? I bought a template online and there is no tab to upload new. I can only select from current WordPress themes. Please help!

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

  That’s correct. On WordPress.com we can only activate the themes available in theme directory: http://theme.wordpress.com/

  The theme you bought is for self-hosted WordPress.org based sites. So it cannot be used on WordPress.com.

  You can get in touch with the support folks of the website from which you bought and see if you can get a refund.

  I also encourage you to check the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
