  Hi team,

  I have the listable theme that I would love to install to my wordpress site but am wondering if there is a way that does not require committing to the $399 fee of a business account? I’d love to set it up and see if it works as a trial first.

  Hi @lauraquattrocelli,
  Sorry… but we cannot upload themes on WordPress.COM. We can only use themes that are present here.

  The goal of WordPress.COM is to keep things simple. So that the technical stuffs are handled by WordPress and we focus on creating quality content.

  More information about this can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  If you wish to upload custom themes from third-party sources, you can use WordPress.ORG-a self hosted platform/software to create blogs, websites and more, with greater customization possibilities.

  Find out the differences between WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG here:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you wish to move your blog from WordPress.COM to WordPress.ORG, follow the instructions given here:
  https://move.wordpress.com/

  You can ask for help while creating your site using WordPress.ORG on this support forum: https://wordpress.org/support/. Because, this forum only supports the sites hosted on WordPress.COM.

  Hope this helps 🙂

  @otpidusprime: Uploading custom themes is now a feature of the Business plan on WordPress.com
