How to import a new theme?
-
Hello!
What am I supposed to do to INSTALL or to UPLOAD an external theme, other than the ones offered by WP?Thank you!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You CAN’T. At WordPress.com you can only use the themes on the Dashboard Themes page; you can neither INSTALL nor UPLOAD an external theme.
-
Why? I’ve read around about the possibility o installing a new theme from the
wp-admin
directory… -
Which we don’t have access to here. You’re reading instructions for WordPress.ORG blogs, and you don’t have one of those.
-
So it means I do have to install on my computer
WordPress 3.5.1
and I have to have a domain to upload it there and after that I will be able to INSTALL or to UPLOAD anything I want…
Right? -
Wrong.
In order for it to be online, you need a server. If you don’t own a server and have a server contract with your ISP, you will need to buy hosting somewhere. You’ll need to buy hosting, buy a domain name, install software from WordPress.org into the webspace, and then there you go.
