  Hi. I have a question. I want to use free wordpress template I got from internet. I can’t use it, because there is no “Install theme” button, which I saw in tutorial video. What do I need to pay for in order to be able to use it? Is custom design for 30 $ enough to have this feature?

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

  There is no upgrade that you can purchase that will provide FTP access and the ability to upload third party themes to a free hosted WordPress.com blog. To do that you must hire a web host and set up your own WordPress.org install.

  Reference links:

  The only themes we can use on free hosted WordPress.com blogs are those found here > Appearance > Themes and there is no upgrade you can purchase that changes that.
