  The site you are asking about does not seem to be hosted on WordPress.COM so you need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using.

  This site is for support of sites hosted on WordPress.COM. You should address your questions to WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using: http://wordpress.org/support/

  The forum at WordPress.ORG is not connected to WordPress.COM so you will need to open an account at .ORG if you do not already have one. You may use the same email at WordPress.ORG as you do at WordPress.COM.

  For more on the difference: http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you are asking for help with a WordPress.COM site then we need a link to that site to give you accurate help.

  Hi,
  Thanks for your quick and prompt response.
  I have a site hosted in WordPress.com too http://letmesolve.WordPress.com
  Could you please clear my one doubt
  If a site hosted in WordPress.com and a site using wordpress software can use the same WordPress theme?

  Some of the free themes on WordPress.COM have been made available for use on WordPress.ORG software installs – sorry I don’t know which ones or if there is a master list of them with links

  I will flag this for the staff – one of them should know where the list of themes available for use on .ORG installs

  When a theme is available in a version for WordPress.ORG software that is stated on the detailed theme description page here at WordPress.COM. For example see this detailed theme description page https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/twentyfifteen/ Then note what’s in the right hand column under:

  Stats & Info

  Our 187th most popular theme.
  Launched on December 10, 2014.
  Twenty Fifteen design by the WordPress team.
  This theme is also available for self-hosted WordPress.org sites from the WordPress.org Themes Directory.
  

  To search for WordPress.ORG themes see here https://wordpress.org/themes/

  All free themes on WordPress.com are available for self-hosted sites.

  As timethief mentioned above, when you’re logged into your WordPress.com site, visit the showcase page for any theme, and you’ll see “Download [ThemeName] for your self-hosted site” in the right sidebar.

  For example:

  https://wordpress.com/themes/writr/

  

  For the default themes (Twenty Fifteen, Twenty Fourteen, etc.) that link will instead send you to the WordPress.org theme directory, since that’s where the default themes are maintained.

  Good luck choosing a theme!
