    Hello, I would like to move (or let is be done) my site (www.parijsreis.nl) from wordpress.com to wordpress.org. I have however purchased a theme on .com, and it is unclear to me if this indeed can move along to wordpress.org. The theme is Pinboard by themify me.

    Hello there!

    This guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

    As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site – including the importing of the file – must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:

    If you’d like assistance moving your WordPress.com site to WordPress.org, we have a service called Guided Transfer that does all the work for you. Check it out to see if it’s right for you:

    Your WordPress.com theme will not transfer to your WordPress.org site. You will need to download at self-hosted site specific template to upload to your new server. Here’s are some ideas of themes you can use on .org:

    The good news is that if you love Pinboard, the developer does offer a .org version you can download:

    I hope this helps! Take care.

    Hi, many thanks, but one last question…i do love pinboard, but the one that is sold on wp.com is not the same as on the wp.org link. However i think the producer sells the version i bought on wp.com org but can not get them to answer me
    themify.me/themes/pinboard
    What do you think, u would help me a great deal…so could i move it then with your service
    (So just to be clear: the link you kindly gave me is a different theme with the same name)
    Thanks!

    Oops! Sorry about the theme name confusion! The theme, Pinboard, that you are using here at WordPress.com is not available for WordPress.org. You would have to choose a different template to use for your self-hosted site.

    If you’d like to see what’s available, simply googling “WordPress themes” will turn up lots a great options for you.

    Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks much!
