  I want to buy a theme from Mojo Marketplace. Do I also need to purchase the ‘Install your WordPress Theme’? It is an extra $49 so I don’t want to purchase it if I don’t need to.

  Thank you.

  What is the URL of the site you want to use the theme on?

  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.

  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.
