  Hello,

  I was wondering if I can still access all of the source files if my website is hosted by wordpress.com? I would like to make some custom changes to my theme!

  Thank you for your time,

  Howdy!

  Sorry, no. On WordPress.com we don’t provide access to the back-end files of your site, nor the theme files.

  If you’d like to customize your site’s PHP, a self-hosted site running the free software from WordPress.org is right for you:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  We do offer tools for helping to make your WordPress.org experience as awesome as WordPress.com. Jetpack supercharges your website with features like easy video embedding, stats, and Twitter and Facebook sharing tools. VaultPress provides realtime, continuous backup and scans your website for security and performance. More information on both can be found at these links:
