  Hi there,

  Themes purchased elsewhere can’t be uploaded to sites hosted on WordPress.com. On WordPress.com, you can select from a variety of themes to change your blog’s appearance. 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 in our theme showcase.

  If you let me know what theme you purchased, I’d be happy to help you find out if it’s available here or if there’s a similar theme you might like.

  You can also post suggestions for new themes we might add in the Themes forum.

  Themes purchased elsewhere 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 if you’re curious.

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that!
