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/
You cannot build your own theme or import a third p[arty theme and use it on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. We do not have FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we not able to upload any third party themes.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes that. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

Thank you, timethief. Why then are these guys saying that I can download their new theme on wordpress? http://www.designwall.com/product/dw-minion/

The site linked to your username is not a free hosted WordPress.com blog. if that’s the one you are asking about then you are posting to the wrong support forum. We do not provide support at WordPress.COM for any installs of WordPress.ORG software. We provide support only for free hosted WordPress.COM blogs being hosted right here on this multiuser blogging platform.
WordPress.com and WordPress.org have different log-ins and run different versions of themes with same names.
http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.

Their README.txt says to Log in, select “Appearance” panel –> “Themes” –> “Install Themes” –> “Upload” and then this page –> http://codex.wordpress.org/File:themes.png shows that there is a “Install Themes” option while mine does not. I’ll pay. What do I need to do to have that option available to me? Thanks for your help in clarifying for me.

Hey Timethief, I just upgraded to Premium and received a domain name for free. I have connected both WordPress and my domain but for some reason cannot install a custom theme from themetrust.com since there does not appear to be an option on my dashboard.
Please Help!

Hi Betty –
Here’s more clarity on .com vs .org of WordPress:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/In other words, WordPress:
.com = no “Install Themes” capability
.org = YES, you may “Install Themes”Same company, WordPress yet two different products, one is .com and the other is .org.
To play in WordPress.org, which is as easy as WordPress.com, but with just more capabilities, you simply have to purchase a domain and hosting. (I bought both domain and hosting from and choose to do business with GoDaddy.com.)

ps: Betty, I only paid (good for a year) $14 for my domain name & $24 for a of hosting my website. FYI

Thank you so much for the info @mickietagle! I will try and get a refund for the $99 premium account, since I have already purchased a theme from a 3rd party for $49. Go daddy is way to go!
