  Why can’t I upload my theme that I just purchased from a third party, specifically Envato? And if there is a way, could you please let me know?

  I’ve been trying to follow tutorials on it and on I’ve found that there was recently a removal of the “Add New” (theme) button that was on the website. How else can I upload my theme?

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

  Howdy fsuening,

  Themes can’t be uploaded to blogs hosted on WordPress.com. 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:

  We offer over 280 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:

  You can also post suggestions for new themes we might add on our public user forum:
