  Hi there ,

  To upload theme, Select Appearance → Themes from the dashboard.

  Hi there,

  Are you trying to upload a theme or activate a theme?

  It sounds like you are trying to install a third party theme for a self-hosted WordPress.ORG blog. Third party themes only be uploaded on WordPress.com if you have the Business Plan Upgrade:

  https://wordpress.com/business/

  They are usually used for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  If you do not want to go with the Business Plan but want to stay with WordPress.com, the good news is that WordPress.com has hundreds of available themes that you can activate (many for free), and they are found under Appearance > Themes
  You can find out more about them here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  Let me know if you have any other problems or questions.

  Cheers,

  Hi there,

  There are free ecommerce themes, but you won’t find them at WordPress.com/themes

  You can find a few free Woocommerce themes at http://woocommerce.com/themes‎

  Thanks,

  I really appreciate your help! If I purchase the WordPress business package, does that have ecommerce themes? Also if I do upgrade can I upload my own theme to it?

  Hi there,

  Yes, if you upgrade to the Business Plan, you will be able to install the woocommerce plugin, and WooCommerce has ecommerce themes. Also, with the business plan, you can install your own third party themes.

  For more information on the business plan, please visit http://wordpress.com/plans

  Thanks,
