  Hi All,

  I’ve downloaded a theme from envato and am trying to add/install the theme to build my site, however, I can’t seem to find the add new theme/ install theme button in the new editor. Any ideas where one might find this?

  Thanks

  On WordPress.com you may choose from our collection of over 300 curated free and premium themes in the directory:

  https://wordpress.com/themes/

  It’s not possible to add third-party themes on WordPress.com, but if you let me know what type of theme you’re looking for, I’d be glad to help you find something that fits the bill.

  If you want to use the third-party theme you purchased you’ll need to set up a self-hosted install, where you’re running the WordPress software on your own hosting.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
