  I bought wordpress pro with the domain name. I then went to bluehost and connected that domain name with them. Through their control panel I installed WordPress. Activated wordpress and tried to install a theme I bought off themeforest.com. The theme is in the correct folder that wordpress tutorials told me to put it in, but I cannot find it when I go into appearances. Through wordpress I cannot see activate theme, add themes, upload theme, install theme…nothing. Any suggestions to help?

  You’ll need to direct your domain name to BlueHost and work with yourself-hosted WordPress installation if your want to use custom themes.

  You can direct your domain to them by changing the nameservers: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#update-nameservers

  I get to that page and what do I change the nameservers to?

  You’ll need to ask BlueHost for the proper nameservers to enter.
