Transfer to selfhosted wordpress
-
I bought this theme from wp assuming I would be able to download the content files. This was just a trial blog and I want to selfhost my blog. I would like to be able to transfer my theme there. Any way you can guide me on how to do so?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi coolmokey,
WordPress.com themes can’t be transferred to self-hosted blogs. You will need to download the self-hosted version of the theme.
This might also help:
Premium themes are not able to be transferred or downloaded from WordPress.com.
However, you can try asking the theme author if they would be willing to provide a discount coupon or the theme files for you to download and use on your self-hosted WordPress.org site.
To contact the theme authors, please make a post in the premium theme forums:

Hi coolmokey
I just wanted to add some more information about the theme. WordPress.com themes are not transferable. You can use a WP.com free/premium theme on WP.org sites only if either it’s also available at WordPress.org repository or the theme author offers a free/premium download.
In most of the cases, you have to purchase the premium theme separately if it’s available for self-hosted sites.
