  Hello,

  I have downloaded an Elegant Theme which I would like to install, customise and use, but I don’t see the option to install/upload it on my wordpress admin page.

  I know I should be able to upload it from the “appearance” menu, but once there there is no “upload” option.

  What is it that I am missing?

  Thanks, Francis

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

  Hi Francis,

  You can see themes by Elegant Themes that are available on WordPress.com here:

  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/by/elegant-themes/

  Other themes can’t be uploaded to blogs hosted on WordPress.com. They can only be uploaded to self-hosted blogs running on WordPress.org software. You can read more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here: WordPress.com and WordPress.org

  On WordPress.com, you can select from a variety of themes to change your blog’s appearance. You can view all of our themes and filter them by specific criteria in our theme showcase:

  https://wordpress.com/themes/

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that!
