  Hi there!

  Themes can’t be uploaded to sites hosted on WordPress.com, not even with a Premium plan. 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:

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

  We offer over 300 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:

  However, if uploading a theme, or creating your own child themes, is important to you, I’d be happy to cancel and refund your Premium plan so you can instead focus on setting up a self-hosted site.

  Let me know. :)

  Best,

  -Alex G.
