  Hello @mindfulheartconnection,

  Can I verify that the site you are working on is: http://mindfulheartconnection.wordpress.com?

  The site itself should have a free option, unless you want to upgrade to Premium or Business. It looks like you’re using the Dara Theme, which is free.

  You shouldn’t have to pay anything unless you choose an upgrade.

  But let me know if you’re still having problems and I’ll see what I can do to help!

  Hi there,

  Are you trying to install a theme you downloaded somewhere else, or are you trying to activate a theme at My Site ->Themes?

  To install outside themes on WordPress.com requires the Business Plan, but you should be able to activate any of our free themes, or buy any of our Premium themes, without having to upgrade to a paid plan.
