  I just set up my wordpress.com site and puchased the “Solar” theme. But I realized that I have Host Gator and would like to host my site there. How can I move my theme and blog to my host gator account? If I can’t do this I’ll need a refund.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there!

  It’s not possible to transfer themes away from WordPress.com, however, there is a version of Solar available for self-hosted sites here:

  http://www.themeskingdom.com/wordpress-themes/solar-blog-theme

  You can purchase the theme from the above link and upload it to your site at HostGator. Would you like me to cancel and refund the WordPress.com version of the theme for you?

  In regards to the content of your blog, you can export it to your installation of WordPress on HostGator using this guide:

  Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions around that.

  Yes, can you please cancel and refund? I will re-download the theme from the theme provider, themeskindom.

  Sure thing! I’ve cancelled and refunded you for that theme now. :) Please note, it usually takes a few days for a refund to process and appear on a statement.

  Have a lovely weekend!
