  I was trying to ad the WE ARE ONE PAGE theme, but that is not working, and realized that none of the themes were showing up on my website. How can I fix this?

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

  Hi there, you’ve posted your question in the support forums for sites hosted by WordPress.com, but your above site appears to be using the standalone WP (org) software.

  Standalone WP (org) and WordPressdotcom (where we are) are different entities with different documentation and support forums; more information about the differences can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  You can find all the support information for sites using the WP (org) software at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page and at https://wordpress.org/support/ If you don’t have a username on the ORG forums, you can register one on that page.

  Hi there,

  If you want to move your site to WordPress.com, first you’ll need to create a new free site here, and then migrate over your content:

  https://transferto.wordpress.com/

  However, to use the theme you mention here you’ll need to be upgraded to the Business Plan. Users on the free, Personal and Premium plans can only use the themes listed at https://wordpress.com/themes

  If you want to find out how to upload your theme to your self-hosted site instead, please look at the documentation and forums that @justjennifer linked to for you.
