Installing a theme

    I purchased a theme 5 years ago and I would like to install that theme to my blog now. However, the instructions I found under ‘Appearance’ does now allow me to ‘install’ a theme that is not currently within the Theme options on WordPress. How can I add this specific theme to use? Thanks.

    Hi, If you have outside plugins or themes you’d like to install on our managed hosting service, you will need our Business plan, because outside plugins and themes add complexity to our support and maintenance.
    https://wordpress.com/business

    This service includes SSL, direct WordPress support, maintenance, security, and many other features that tend to cost extra with other providers.

    Or, you are welcome to use your own free copy of WordPress with another host, and use community resources or hired contractors as needed. http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    You’ll also want to verify that the theme is updated / patched of any issues that may have come up over the past 5 years.

    Hoping this helps!
