  Hi everyone,

  I don’t know why but when I go under Appearance, Theme, I don’t have the button mentioning “Install a new theme”.

  Thanks a lot.

  Hello Sophie,
  Is your question about garresoph.wordpress.com? What do you see when you go to Appearance > Themes? There should be a grid of theme thumbnail images. Hovering your mouse over one brings up buttons for Theme Details, Activate, and Preview.

  @garresoph
  It is not possible to install themes you bought or downloaded elsewhere on WordPress.com. We can only use the themes listed in the theme gallery, here: https://wordpress.com/themes/ or under Appearance ->Themes as @micawbr indicated.
