  Hello, I have just purchased a custom wordpress theme, I have been given the following instructions:
  Log in to your WordPress admin area
  Browse to Appearance > Themes
  Click on Add New
  Click Upload and browse for the theme zip

  I am unable to follow these instructions, please advise.
  Thank you for taking the time to deal with this matter.
  Regards,

  Hi Owen,

  Themes purchased elsewhere can’t be uploaded to sites 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 if you’re curious about that.

  On WordPress.com, you can select from a variety of themes to change your blog’s appearance. We offer over 300 themes, both free themes and premium themes created by leading theme companies. You can view all of our themes and filter them by specific criteria in our theme showcase.

  You can also post suggestions for new themes we might add in the Themes forum.

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