  Hi,

  I recently bought a theme and am considering switching to another. Can I revert to the one I bought, without having to purchase it again?
  thanks Daniel

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

  The blog’s owner must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchased upgrades to renew them or to update credit card information, or to transfer the blogs and the upgrades to another username account.

  I see the Opti theme here http://dpvandijk.com/ and you can use it only on one site hosted by wordpress.COM – period. Hopefully, you understand that. If not, post again.

  Sorry, it’s probably my wording. I just want to switch from one theme to another – on dpvandijk.com – but am afraid that changing will mean that I can’t revert to the Opti theme (without having to purchase again).
  thanks
  Daniel

  @filippaanais, if you have bought a Premium Theme, you can use it forever on the site you purchased it for, and you can switch to other themes at anytime and then switch back to the theme you purchased whenever you wish.

  great – thanks @thesacredpath!
  I suppose it will then appear in the Theme overview as ‘purchased’ or marked in some way?

  thanks
  Daniel

  You can search for the theme at Appearance > Themes in your dashboard and the hover over it and click “activate”. It will show that it has been purchased.
