Themes – Add New button is invisible, how do I get it back?
-
first time trying to upload a theme, but the Add New button is not there. All I see is the word Themes and the number 304 next to it. How do I change that? I’ve tried rebooting the computer, tried firefox and chrome. thoughts?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There is no such button on any WordPress.COM hosted blog. It’s only found on a WordPress.ORG software install.
The only themes we can use on WordPress.com blogs like your blog are licensed and adapted to run on our multiuser software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/
There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs for security reasons and we cannot:
upload any third party themes,
create child themes,
create our own themes,
edit templates,
create own own layouts,
or use stylesheets from other themes.Relevant support docs:

http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes that. WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can create themes, upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, and edit the database, etc. 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.
