  Hi there,

  I just removed and refunded that domain mapping upgrade for you. It may take some time for that refund to appear on your bank statement, but you can find the refund receipt now in your Billing History.

  Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that. :)

  Hey Rachel,

  Thank you for that. I successfully added the domain to another register “jonathonrobins”. Maybe you can help me some more. I have purchased a custom wordpress theme through another site but I am having the same problem as before where my wordpress site does not give me a plug-in option to upload the purchased theme. What am I doing wrong?

  You can use Plugin’s on WordPress.COM nor can you use outside third party themes here

  You have made a common error – you should be able to get a refund from the theme shop

  For more on the difference: http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Hi there,

  As auxclass mentioned, third-party plugins and themes can’t be uploaded to WordPress.com. On WordPress.com sites, you can select from a variety of themes to change your site’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 elsewhere, I’d be happy to help you find out if it’s available here or if there’s a similar theme you might like.

  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 about that.

  Typo above

  Sorry about that

  Ok. So I purchased Themeforest Decibel professional music page. I am a singer/songwriter- artist and I need a professional page to post pictures, shows, music, ect. Can I do all the things I need to for that through the free services on WordPress.com or am I better off working through wordpress.org? Thank you both for your help. Sorry, I’m a rookie.

  I see a lot of music blogs here – I don’t do themes – your best bet is to look at the themes on the link above and see if there is one you like – CAUTION – be careful about putting blinders on – be open to different looks – here is easier for a novice web site

  Hi there,

  That particular theme from Themeforest isn’t available here at WordPress.com, but there are some other musician-oriented themes. I’d recommend checking out Tuned Balloon, Soundcheck, Album, and Huesos. You can also look through all the music themes in the theme showcase:

  https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/music/

  If you’re set on using the Decibel theme you purchased, you’ll need a self-hosted site using the software from WordPress.org. But if you don’t mind using one of the themes from our theme showcase, there is a lot you can do to promote your music, shows, photos, etc. here at WordPress.com. Let me know if you have any other questions!

  Hi!

  @regionlatinoamerica:

  Where exactly would you like to use those domains? Do you want to cancel them, or use them for a different site elsewhere?

  This is the thing:
  I bought those domain separately for 18$ each p/year. But then I bought the WordPress Premium, which also gives the chance to register one domain.

  Now I need to cancel those two domain for 18$ each year and instead use them in the WordPress Premium, but I need to map them to the premium, I tried to do it and I couldn’t, because it said they were already mapped wordpress.

  I hope you can help me.

  I have two blogs under one account.

  1. edmundricelatinamerica.wordpress.com
  2. edmundoricelatinoamerica.wordpress.com

  I need to match to each of them these domains:

  1. edmundricelatinamerica.org
  2. edmundoricelatinoamerica.org

  Many thanks.

  @regionlatinoamerica — Your domains should be properly mapped now, and associated with the Premium upgrades you purchased.
