  Hi,
  I purchased a third party theme outside of WordPress. I am looking for where in the WordPress admin panel the ‘Add New’ theme button appears. I look under Appearance > Theme > and I can not see an ‘Add New’ button at the top of the page. How do I install a third party theme without this button within the admin panel?

  Thank You.

  Themes can’t be uploaded to blogs hosted on WordPress.com. They can only be uploaded to self-hosted blogs running on WordPress.org software. You can read more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  We do have a large number of both free and premium themes, including a number that are great for photography. You can view them at http://theme.wordpress.com/
