  Trying to install a theme from Theme Forest. I don’t see the option to install the theme in the customizer or themes tab. How can I do this?

  Here is the link to the theme http://themeforest.net/item/vrukshagra-environmental-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/14803031

  Hi gnfleamarket,

  The option to install themes from outside vendors is not available to WordPress.COM hosted sites. You need to download the software from WordPress.ORG and self-host your site in order to install outside themes.

  Here’s more about the difference between .com and .org: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  To change your WordPress.com site’s theme go here: https://wordpress.com/themes/
