  Hello,

  I’ve upgraded to Premium, purchased a theme (from Tesla), but when I go to Admin > Appearance > Themes there is no Add New.

  Any ideas?

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

  Each upgrade or bundle here gives you only exactly what it says it does. There is no upgrade or bundle that will allow you to install external themes.

  Hi,

  Your theme is probably not a WordPress.com theme. It’s probably only available for self-hosted WordPress.org sites.

  According to
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/#uploading-custom-themes

  Uploading a third-party or custom theme is possible only on self-hosted sites using the WordPress.org software. This means that you cannot upload any themes to your WordPress.com site.

  These are the only themes available for WordPress.com:
  http://theme.wordpress.com/

  Please read this to learn more about the differences between .com and .org
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Depending on the company you bought the theme from, you might be eligible for a refund.

  Let us know if you have any more questions.
