  I purchased a theme from ThemeForest (Heat), but I have a wordpress.com account. I realize now that I need a wordpress.org account in order to activate this theme. How do I transfer the domain to wordpress.org, and then upload that theme?

  Hi there,

  If you’re interested, we do offer an upgrade called Guided Transfer (available in the Store section of your blog’s Dashboard) where we take care of everything for you: http://en.support.wordpress.com/guided-transfer/

  Otherwise, you’ll need to install WordPress from http://wordpress.org/ on a hosting provider. We have some recommendations at http://get.wp.com/hosting/

  Once that’s done, you can move your content following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org

  WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress at:
