  Hi, I accidentally cancelled my free premium upgrade when trying to change themes. To me, it appears that I can not get it back. Is it possible? Thanks.

  Also, does wordpress offer classes in the community? I will not be able to create what I want just by following along with your text.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  1. I’ll tag this thread for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  2. Yes.
  (a) On the bottom of your Admin page you will find a link to the step by step Learn WordPress.com blogging Tutorial prepared by Staff. http://learn.wordpress.com/
  (b) http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2014/05/16/writing-101-registration/

  I will not be able to create what I want just by following along with your text.

  3. Sometimes we get people here who think they can create their own themes, edit templates, etc. That’s not the case at all.

  The only themes we can use on free hosted WordPress.com blogs like your blog are the themes found here http://wordpress.com/themes/

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs for security reasons and we cannot:

  upload any third party themes,
  create child themes,
  create our own themes,
  edit templates,
  create own own layouts,
  or use stylesheets from other themes.

  There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes that. WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can create themes, upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, and edit the database, etc. Learn about the differences here. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  See here for details of all 3 plans http://store.wordpress.com/bundles/
  Note that the free plan and the Premium plan do not allow you to equip the blog for eCommerce transactions. Only those who purchase the the Business upgrade have eCommerce capability. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/ecommerce-is-now-available-on-wordpresscom?replies=1

  Hi there,

  I still see your WordPress.com Premium trial upgrade on your blog. You can confirm it’s still there by going to Store > My Upgrades in your dashboard.

  Is there a particular Premium feature that you’re having trouble with? I’d be happy to help with that.

  Also, does wordpress offer classes in the community? I will not be able to create what I want just by following along with your text.

  If you have questions, you’re welcome to ask here in the WordPress.com Support Forums — volunteers and staff can help you figure out if what you’d like to create is possible here at WordPress.com.
