Edit wordpress.com domain site with Divi
-
Hi everyone, so I made the mistake of registering a domain with wordpress.com, not knowing that this left me to be limited to their themes (I confused this with wordpress.org). So now I just purchased a plan at Dreamhost and have included the stated website in my domains there – even though it is less than 60 days since I registered the wordpress.com domain. Since I have nothing on the current website run by wordpress.com, does anybody know a way in which I can edit this website using Divi somehow?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There is no FTP access to any wordpress.com sites. 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
There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs for security reasons and we cannot:
upload any third party themes,
create child themes,
create our own themes,
edit templates,
create own own layouts,
or use stylesheets from other themes.See:

http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/WordPress.com sites have some built in plugins http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/. However, if you are reading anything that makes you think that we bloggers can install plugins, advertising, custom themes or third party themes on sites hosted by wordpress.COM, then you are mistaken/misinformed. We have never had that ability. You are confusing wordpress.COM hosted blogs and wordpress.ORG installs on paid hosting.
Blogger installed plugin capability does not exist on WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality. For that type of functionality, you’d need a self-hosted WordPress.ORG software install running on a paid web hosting service.

Hi Timethief, I know I made a mistake with the domain registering.
But now I would like to make a new website using WordPress.org and Divi hosted on Dreamhost (I currently have no dreamhost hosted domain), but would like to use my current url: tawinmatthewnunbhakdi.com (which is hosted on wordpress.com) to redirect people to this new website, so from what I’ve learnt I just have to change the nameservers?

Yes. Please see:

Hi, I’ve read these articles and have done the nameserver changes, but once I put in the dreamhost nameservers, it says that they aren’t valid?
