  I thought as soon as I purchased the theme it would populate and I would be off and running. What I got was a zipped file. How do I launch it?

  Hi there,

  Is this a theme you purchased with another company? Who did you get your theme download from?

  On WordPress.com you do not need a .zip file to install a theme, as we offer our themes “pre-installed” here: https://wordpress.com/themes/

  For our pre-installed themes we have the ability to add demo content in most cases, but for 3rd party themes that you purchase with another provider we do not offer that option. Your theme should come with setup instructions, and you can upload the .zip file here: https://wordpress.com/themes/upload/scottstagingcom.wordpress.com

  Note that you will need our Business Plan to be able to upload your theme, more info here: https://wordpress.com/pricing/
