  How do I install the “Photography” theme on wordpress.com? I downloaded the Free Trial version from the Theme Foundry (the people that make the theme) and have it on my computer. Now I want to test it within wordpress but don’t know how. Is it possible? It can be purchased as one of the themes WordPress offers but I would like to try it out before I commit.

  Thanks,
  Rasko

  We cannot add/upload themes at wordpress.COM. We are limited to the 180+ (and growing) themes found in the dashboard under appearance > themes. Themes found on the internet are for self-hosted wordpress blogs using the software from wordpress.ORG.

  Themes at wordpress.COM have to be modified to work within the restrictions here and to support the unique features.

  The differences between wordpress.com and wordpress.org (self-hosted) sites.

  We use modified versions of the themes to better fit in with WordPress.com, so if you want the identical version to what we run be aware that’s not what you have.

  http://photographydemo.wordpress.com/

  Note: Premium Themes are customized for WordPress.com usage only, and cannot be transferred to self-hosted WordPress.org sites.

  If a Premium theme doesn’t work out we offer a full refund up to 30 days from your purchase. To cancel your purchase and obtain a refund, please use the Cancel button on the Store -> My Upgrades page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/premium-themes/

  Read-access to the premium themes forum is now open to all users. The premium theme forums are at http://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/ with separate sections for each theme. http://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/photography/

  There is a link for access to specific Premium Theme support forum under Appearance -> Themes in your blog’s Dashboard, but do note that the premium theme must be active and one must be signed in as the user who purchased it in order to access the link and post to the forum there.
