  Hello,

  I just bought a theme for WordPress from a website and would like to use it on my page. However, I cannot figure out how to upload the theme. Most tutorials video show a different version of WordPress than mine. Can you please assist me?

  Kind regards,
  Thibault de Cidrac

  I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but uploading a custom theme from another website is possible only on self-hosted sites using the WordPress.org software, which is very different from WordPress.com. This means that you cannot upload any themes to your WordPress.com site. This ensures both the safety of our users and the functionality of all of our blogs. If you would like more information about this, please see the link below. :)

  Instead of uploading a theme, I might suggest checking out the current theme collection to see if there’s an option there that will work well for you or one that looks similar. :) To visit the theme showcase for WordPress.com, visit the link below:

  Please let me know if you have any more questions. Have a wonderful day!
