  Hi

  How can I change the theme of my website? Now it’s not possible to upload a theme of another website (themeforest.net). Do we have to upgrade to ‘Go Premium’ before we can use another paid theme?

  Thanks in advance!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You cannot upload any third party themes into a WordPress.COM hosted blog so be clear on that. The only themes we can use on WordPress.com blogs are licensed and adapted to run on our multiuser software are the themes that are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/

  There is no FTP access to WordPress.COM blogs and we bloggers cannot install any plugins or third party themes.

  There is no other upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

  If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.ORG install.

  WordPress.ORG offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can create themes, upload and install themes and plugins, run advertising, and edit the database, etc. http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
