  Why can I upload a custom theme to my wordpress site at http://adamwdesign.com/wp-admin/themes.php, but not on a new site that I have created at https://thehealthroomlancaster.wordpress.com/wp-admin/?

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

  Hi there,

  Please note that there are two separate entities: the self-hosted, WordPress install that allows you to upload custom themes, and WordPress.com.

  To clear up any confusion, at WordPress.com, we provide hosting, support, and tons of features for blogs. Users also have the option to purchase a variety of upgrades to customize the look and feel of their blog. WordPress.org is a software for self-hosted sites. With WordPress.org, users are provided access to all backend files and can upload custom themes and plugins.

  Check here to learn more about the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org:

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!
