  Hi All,

  I am a newbie. Found some interesting premium theme in wordpress.com.
  Since I am on self-hosted (instead of using wordpress.com) using wordpress as my blogging platform, is there any chance I could use these premium wordpress.com theme?

  Since I tried to search all of the premium theme using ‘Installed theme’ in my wordpress dashboard but couldn’t found them. Should I need to installed any additional plugin to enable the feature?

  Thanks before
  Dee

  The short answer is: No, you can’t use a WP.com theme on a WP.org blog. You can contact the theme developers and ask if they have a WP.org download available, but you wouldn’t buy it through WordPress.com.
