  Do you have the business plan? What does the error say above this message?

  Hi there, as @automatsrollout mentioned, only the Business plan upgrade with a custom domain will allow you to upload a 3rd party theme here on WordPressdotcom. You can learn more about that here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  All other plans can activate any of the 280+ themes found in our Theme Showcase
  https://wordpress.com/themes/

  Let us know if you have any other question about this.
