  I’ve just bought a theme from themeforest and I’m wondering how I can install it? Not seeing the option to upload a custom theme under the appearance tab.

  Thanks,
  Richie

  Hi Richie,

  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

  On WordPress.com, you can select from a variety of themes to change your blog’s appearance. You can read more about customizing the appearance and theme of your blog on WordPress.com here:

  We offer over 210 themes, both free themes and premium themes created by leading theme companies. You can view all of our themes and filter them by specific criteria here:

  You can also post suggestions for new themes we might add on our public user forum:
