Colorway Pro – how do I add it? two other questions about Colorway
-
Hi
1. I have just bought Colorway Pro
As instructed, I added it to the theme folder. Then I tried to ‘add new’ via the Appearance | Themes menu but I think it is showing the original one I already had.
2. Also, my Appearance | Theme Options menu is now called Inktheme themes – so I can not fix my first page any longer (which still has the generic text etc…
3. How do I get rid of ‘search’ ‘archives’ and ‘categories’ from the right hand side of the page? If you tell me it’s via theme Options – I no longer have this on my menu!!Please help me
Much appreciated, Nat

Colorway is a theme that can only be run on a wordpress.ORG software install. This is the wordpress.COM support forum and your blog at https://natmeredith.wordpress.com/ is hosted by wordpress.COM.
WordPress.com and WordPress.org are separate and different. You are confusing wordpress.com hosted blogs and wordpress.org installs on paid hosting.
The only themes we can use here at wordpress.COM on wordpress.COM hosted blogs are found at https://wordpress.com/themes/
You cannot install any custom theme or any third party theme into any wordpress.COM hosted blog and there is no upgrade that changes that. I believe you are confusing WordPress.ORG software with WordPress.COM hosted blogs.
There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/The only themes we can use on WordPress.com hosted blogs are licensed and adapted to run on our multiuser software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and in your dashboard at > Appearance > Themes
See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
If you want to hire a web host go to http://wordpress.org/hosting first and then set up your own WordPress.ORG install.
If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page -
See here for the Forever theme for wordpress.COM sites as it is based on the Colorway theme you refer to https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/forever/
