  Hi,

  I have purchased a personalized theme outside of WordPress and I’d like to install it.
  Unfortunately I see that my Dashboard does not allow me to unless I first buy the BUSINESS PLAN.
  I’d like to ask if there is any way to preview the theme on my free plan in order to evaluate.
  Also, instead of the Business plan is it possible to have a PREMIUM PLAN and still be able to use an outsider theme?

  Thanks a lot,
  Mirko

  Hi @mirkoland,

  There is no way to preview the theme on Free plan, however, you can use the self-hosted open-source WordPress.org software to test this theme you have.

  Download

  This would need to be installed on a third-party hosting service of your choosing.

  To install a custom theme here on WordPress.com, you’ll need to upgrade to a Business plan. This feature is not available in the Premium plan.

  Best :)
