Downloading theme into WordPress
-
Hi, I recently bought a theme from theme forest and I am running into some trouble trying to download it into my WordPress app on the iPad. Could anyone help me with this, I would really appreciate it!
I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

Hi there,
What is the URL of your website?
The WordPress app is simply a tool you can use to manage a WordPress site. You can’t download a theme using the app, and you can’t install a theme to a site using the app.
To download the theme you’ll need to use a web browser, either on your computer or the mobile browser on your phone. That will download a .zip folder containing the theme’s files.
Next you’ll need to log into the admin account for your site, go to Appearance ->Themes, and select the option to upload a new theme. When prompted for the files, upload the entire .zip folder, and then follow the prompts to activate the theme once uploaded.

Note that to use your own theme bought elsewhere for a site hosted on WordPress.com, requires our Business Plan:
