Export the theme
-
Hi! How do I download this theme to my computer (I have purchased it a couple years ago)? I have a different hosting now and purchased a new domain (my blog ended in .co and now is .com) and I want to export this theme. Hopefully I don’t have to pay again for this theme, as that would be outrageous.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Themes that are licensed and provided for use only on wordpress.COM sites cannot be transferred to sites that are not hosted by wordpress.COM. You can read more about that here https://en.support.wordpress.com/premium-themes/
As your site is private I cannot see which premium theme you are referring to. Please post the name of it as I can provide more help if you do that.

Note: Premium Themes that are set up for WordPress.com use only cannot be transferred to self-hosted WordPress.org sites. Some Automattic-developed Premium themes can be transferred to a self-hosted site at no charge, as part of a Guided Transfer. http://support.wordpress.com/guided-transfer/ Please post in the Premium theme forums if you’d like to know whether your theme qualifies. http://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/forum/general-questions
Will you also provide both site URLs here please?

Hey! The Oxford theme is the one that I purchased and want to export to my computer in order to use on my new website. Even though I have a different hosting, I still am on WordPress.

Themes cannot be included in XML export files.
This theme https://wordpress.com/theme/oxford does not appear to have a wordpress.ORG version that can be downloaded and used on a site hosted elsewhere. Staff may know who the theme designer is and how to contact them.
I will type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for a Staff follow-up. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Also subscribe to this thread so you are notified when they respond and be patient while waiting.

Have you posted here https://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/forum/oxford to ask the theme designer for a version for downloading?

Thank you so much for your help! No, I haven’t. I’m posting now my question. Thanks once again!

Hi stephanine,
The version of the theme you are currently using is only compatible with WordPress.com sites and can’t be downloaded. As timethief suggested, you could post to the Oxford premium theme forum to ask whether there is a version of theme compatible with self hosted sites:
