  Hi @forculturedgirls,

  Could I please verify that this URL is the site you need help with?
  forculturedgirls.wordpress.com

  If your blog or site is hosted on WordPress.com in order to use Custom Themes or Plugins you’ll have to upgrade your account to “Business Plan

  Thanks!

  Hi there,

  Themeforest themes cannot be used on WordPress.com without a Business Plan. If you’re trying to use the theme on a self-hosted site using the WordPress.org software, please post in the self-hosted forums instead, as we cannot help you here:

  Thank you, what if I’m not ready to publish the site yet? I want to continue to customize before I purchase the plan- I don’t want to waste money on a site that people aren’t even seeing yet (and its far from ready lol)

  @forculturedgirls assuming you’re talking about a site on our servers, I recommend making the site private, adding your posts, then customizing the site as you’d like. If you don’t want to spend money on it, just do as much as you can without spending. We have quite a few free themes here, too.

  If you definitely need to install an outside theme, you will need the business plan, or you can use your own self-managed WordPress.org installation at another host.
