  I have uploaded a theme and presumed the template would be added to my website – is this not the case?

  My site: http://edinburghsmeorguk.ipage.com/wordpress/
  Theme: https://wordpress.org/themes/zerif-lite/

  I have tried to add media to the pages but they don’t seem to appear – can you tell me why this is? I thought the template would be in place and I was able to alter it.

  Many thanks,

  Iona

  Hi,

  No, it’s not the case. Zerif Lite is available for WordPress.org site, not for WordPress.com sites. The only themes you may use on a WordPress.com site are those found in the WordPress.com Theme Showcase, which are also available at Appearance > Themes. You might wish to ask for a refund on the theme.

  I have tried to add media to the pages but they don’t seem to appear – can you tell me why this is?

  Hard to say. You’ve evidently added an image to your “Hello World!” post. Did you have any trouble adding that image?

  @ Iona,

  Sorry, I hadn’t read carefully your first post. Your site http://edinburghsmeorguk.ipage.com/wordpress/ is not a WordPress.com site. It is a self-hosted WordPress.org site, so this is the wrong forum for you.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are different versions of WordPress, with different support forums. See the WordPress.com and WordPress.org support page.

  This forum is solely for issues regarding WordPress.com accounts and websites. Since http://edinburghsmeorguk.ipage.com/wordpress/ is a self-hosted WordPress.org site, please resubmit your request to the WordPress.org support forums. If you haven’t already done so, you can register here: https://wordpress.org/support/register.php, to use the WordPress.org support forums.
