  I found the perfect theme (Natural), but I cannot just buy it. I must be missing something. I choose ‘Purchase’ and I am put through a big ordeal to create a website and blog and a pricing plan for hosting, etc. I already have my domain, I have already installed Word Press. I have already set up my hosting with another provider. All I need is the theme. Do I really have to purchase a Word Press pricing plan to use a Word Press theme? Can I not just pay the $69, download it and install it and be on my way? I do not want a $69 theme to turn into a monthly or yearly subscription plan into perpetuity.

  It looks your site is using the open source wordpress.org. You can’t install wordpress.com themes on a wordpress.org website as both are completely different systems.
