  I wanted to know if it was possible to load a theme on my blog (not premium) but compatible with WordPress that I previously purchased.

  Thank you very much

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

  Hi Francesca :)

  Since your blog is on WordPress.com, I believe that means you can’t apply themes that have been purchased elsewhere. This is because there’s no FTP access, which means third party software can’t be installed.

  Blogs with WordPress.org are the ones that have that functionality.

  Hope that helps!

  Hi Francesca, are you running a site hosted here on WordPress.com? If so, then you won’t be able to upload a third-party theme, but instead you need to choose from one of the 300+ themes available in the showcase:

  If you need any help choosing a theme, just let me know and I’ll be glad to help.
