  Hey there,

  It sounds like you are trying to install a third party theme that is designed for a self-hosted WordPress.ORG blog. WordPress.ORG theme installations run on completely different software, and you cannot upload these third party themes to a free hosted WordPress.COM blog.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  However, WordPress.COM has hundreds of available themes that you can activate (many for free), and they are found under Appearance > Themes. You can find out more about them here:

  Another option is to switch your WordPress.COM blog to a WordPress.ORG blog:

  https://move.wordpress.com/

  Let me know if you have any other problems or questions.

  Thanks!
