  I downloaded a theme from Macho themes that I like but I can’t seem to install the theme and I’m not sure if it’s because I have the free version of wordpress. Can someone please help me?

  I have reviewed all boards and literature on how to install a theme but to no avail. Thank you.

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

  Hi –

  You aren’t able to upload a theme to your WordPress.com site. All available themes for you to use with your WordPress.com site are found here: http://wordpress.com/themes/

  If you want to install a theme to your site that is not found at the above link, then you would need to have a self hosted blog using WordPress.org. Support for WordPress.org can be found here: https://wordpress.org/support/

  Differences in WordPress.com and WordPress.org:

  Please let me know if you have further questions.
