  I bought a premium theme for WordPress with the company Template Monster and I can’t install it. Do I need to buy a premium account on WordPress to install it?

  Hi there. I’m afraid it’s not possible to install themes you bought elsewhere to WordPress.com, regardless of upgrade. That theme can only be used with a self-hosted WordPress.org website, not with your free WordPress.com blog. I suggest you contact them and ask for a refund.

  The only themes we can use on WordPress.com are the ones listed here: https://wordpress.com/themes/
