  I would like to reinstall WordPress. It doesn’t give me the options, that I would like to at the moment.

  Hi there,

  We can only offer support for sites hosted here at WordPress.com.

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.

  If you’re trying to install the self-hosted WordPress.org software, you might want to check out the codex on the WordPress.org site:

  You can find support for the WordPress.org software in the WordPress.org forums:

  I want to install a theme that I have bought at Press 75. I don’t do themes on my own :-)

  I stille really want to know how to REinstall WordPress. Should I just delete my account og just the content?

  I’m not sure I understand what you mean by “reinstall”.

  It’s not possible to upload themes here at WordPress.com. It’s only possible to use themes purchased in our Theme Showcase:

  http://theme.wordpress.com

  If you want to upload or install a different theme, you’ll need to build a self-hosted WordPress.org site.

  This should be showing in my Appearance and it doesn’t. That’s my problem.

  Yes, as mentioned above, themes can’t be uploaded to WordPress.com. That’s a feature of self-hosted blogs through WordPress.org.

  You may use any of the available themes we have under Appearance > Themes in your dashboard, and you may want to look into purchasing the Custom Design Upgrade to customize one of the themes we offer:

  You can also post suggestions for new themes on our public user forum. Please see here for details:
