  Hi there!

  WordPress.com is a shared environment and we do not allow installing third-party themes or plugins for security reasons. Business sites undergo a series of structural changes to allow that and that is why you’d need Business plan to install a theme purchased elsewhere.

  You can read more about our plans here:
