  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:

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

  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!

  Hi there,

  The Mystique theme is for a self-hosted WordPress.ORG site. Your blog that you are wanting help with is a WordPress.COM site. You will not be able to add this theme to your current blog.

  If you want to activate a new theme for your WordPress.COM site, you can do so here:

  If you really want to keep the Mystique theme, you will probably need to move your WordPress.COM blog to a WordPress.ORG blog:

  Alright, if you want to remain with WordPress.COM, you’ll need to activate a new theme. Have you tried looking through the other available options?

  https://wordpress.com/themes/

  Many of these themes are free, although you can also purchase one as well.

  Let me know if this helps you in your search!

  Hi there again,

  I actually did a more specific search for you in order to find available themes with 3 columns and a left and right column:

  https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/three-columns+left-sidebar+right-sidebar/

  Not all of them look like they may apply, but it can still help you narrow your search a little.

  Hope this helps!
