Installing Catalyst
-
Hello. I have just made a new wordpress blog and I want to install Catalyst/Dynamik. I have purchased Catalyst/Dynamik and I would like to install it but on my dashbaord I only have a ‘manage themes’ option not an ‘install option’ – it says I can click ‘activate’ to activate the already installed themes which are visible on the manage themes page. But I would like to install this Catalyst/Dynamik theme and the tutorial on that says I should go to ‘install themes’ but this option does not appear on my dashboard. COuld you please advise me what I need to do to get this ‘install themes’ option visible? I am trying to work on another word press site someone set up for me and this install themes option exists on that one but not on this one. with thanks, catherine
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Sorry but if you are going to blog here at WordPress.com then you cannot use that theme as it’s coded to run on WordPress.ORG software.
We do not have FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we not able to upload third party themes.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/The only themes you can use on a free hosted WordPress.com blog are those found here > Appearance > Themes and showcased here > http://wordpress.com/themes/ We cannot access and edit any templates underlying our themes. Only Staff can edit as every blog wearing the same theme is using the same template.
Unless you are prepared to pay for a VIP account, http://vip.wordpress.com/our-services/ there is no upgrade you can purchase that changes this at WordPress.COM.
To upload themes you need to hire a web host and set up a WordPress.ORG install. To clearly understand the differences between WordPress.COM free hosted blogs and WordPress>ORG installs for self hosting read this comparison > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
