Installing a 'themeforest' theme correctly
-
I installed a theme that I purchased through themeforest.com. It doesn’t look like the demo I previewed before I purchased it now that I have installed it onto my wordpress dashboard. I am trying to make my own website and this is my first attempt. Plese help. Thanks!

You failed to provide actual URL and that’s an issue for us as 30% of those who post here ought to be posting to wordpress.ORG support http://wordpress.org/support/
Type the actual URL into http://whoishostingthis.com to determine who hosts the sites please so you know where to post for support.
This is wordpress.COM support. We do not provide support for local installs of wordpress.ORG software, or for wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
wordpress.org support
The wordpress.ORG support forum is at http://wordpress.org/support. The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/
WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support.Jetpack support
Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.com/support/
Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack
However, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service -
NOTE: Third party themes cannot be used on any site hosted by wordpress.COM unless the site has a Business plan upgrade http://wordpress.com/pricing/

Hello spartmann,
Congratulations on starting your first website! Sorry to hear you are having trouble with your theme.
As timethief points out, our ability to help depends on where your site is hosted. Do you know if it is hosted on WordPress.com? If it is, we are happy to help. Let us know (and include the link to your site, so we can take a look).
All the best,
dw
