  Good morning,

  We have an issue with uploading a custom theme to our wordpress, We have a premium account, and would like to get a custom theme called “Novella” uploaded to our appearance tab. (As the themes that currently available is very limited.) I thought it would be just a matter of updating wordpress, but even that option is missing (plugin tab).

  A free wordpress account allows “Add new” or “Install theme”.

  Why doesn’t Premium?

  Help would be greatly appreciated.

  Regards
  Niel

  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 vs. WordPress.org

  On WordPress.com, you can select from a variety of themes to change your blog’s appearance. You can read more about customizing the appearance and theme of your blog on WordPress.com here:
