  Hi, I downloaded a theme but when I go to try and install it, I don’t see the ‘add theme’ button. I’m in the WP admin window and the button is nowhere to be found

  Same here. Did you manage to resolve it?

  Because you’re using wordpress.com (service), not wordpress.org (software). Custom themes upload/installation is not allowed in wordpress.com.

  You can install theme if you host wordpress somewhere else.

  To learn the difference between self hosted blog and wordpress.com (service), please check out this page:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
