  Hi there,

  The theme Publishable Mag is a third-party theme. It is not available on WordPress.com.
  To add a third-party theme you’ll have to purchase Business plan. Only Business plan provides the feature of uploading a custom theme. No other plan includes this feature.

  Refer this link:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  There are various free themes available https://wordpress.com/themes/free/. You can try searching a similar theme if you don’t wish to purchase Business plan.

  Hope this helps!

  The only themes we can use on sites hosted by wordpress.COM are found here https://wordpress.com/themes/ unless we have a Business Plan https://wordpress.com/pricing/ which allows us to run third party themes.

  re: switching themes
  Themes are just “skins” on WordPress.COM hosted blogs.
  Note that switching themes https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/#switch-themes can be easily done, provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the site, you to

  http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/themes.php

  *Replace NAME_OF_BLOG in that URL with the actual name of your blog. wp-admin/themes.php

  We have a preview function. No content is lost when switching themes on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. It does not matter if the site is private or public.

  Provided you are logged in as Admin under the username account that registered the site go to https://wordpress.com/themes and type in your key words, or the name of theme.

  If you are not logged in under the correct WordPress.COM username account then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies prior to logging into another account

  If you did not register the site and do not have the required access you need to contact the person who registered the account and site under it and have them either act, or transfer the site to your username account by using this process. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

  The theme customizer https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/ provides a preview function for exactly that purpose ie. so you can view what a theme will appear like prior to changing one.
