  Hi Guys,

  i want to create a wordpress theme but this time with a lot of pictures. I would like to use some pictures from flickr for example or from istockphoto. At flickr i can easily search for pictures that i can use for commercial but what is when i buy a picture from istockphoto and i want to sell the theme later?!?!? I don’t know anything about these license circumstances and if i’m allowed to use and to sell the theme with these pictures in it? Should i use Royalty Free Pictures? What is with RM Pictures?

  Thanks in advance

  Best

  Adrinho

  You did not specify a blog address or reason for posting when you created this topic.

  This support forum is for blogs hosted at WordPress.com. If your question is about a self-hosted WordPress blog then you’ll find help at the WordPress.org forums.

  If you don’t understand the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, you may find this information helpful.

  If you forgot to include a link to your blog, you can reply and include it below. It’ll help people to answer your question.

  This is the WordPress.com support forum for blogs being free hosted by WordPress.com only. You cannot build or use your own custom theme built from scratch at WordPress.com.

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  The only themes we can use are those found here > Appearance > Themes
  This is a multiuser blogging platform. All blogs wearing the same theme are using the same underlying template and we cannot access the underlying files and edit templates or themes. http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/editing-themes/

  There are two free themes, Sandbox and Toolbox designed to allow maximum flexibility for CSS editing and creating new “skins”. Toolbox is more modern and includes a lot of support for CSS3 and HTML5, so it is really only limited by your skills and knowledge.

  If you have CSS editing experience the upgrade will allow you to stylize the appearance of themes you find here > Appearance > Themes, but will not allow you to change the functionality, by editing the underlying template. It does not allow you to remove footer links to the theme designer or to WordPress.com. Also note that CSS is theme specific, so you cannot use the CSS stylesheets from other themes with the themes at WordPress.COM. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-css/

  Though I could be wrong I sense that you ought to be posting to the WordPress.org support forums. http://wordpress.org/support/
