Transferring Forefront theme
-
I have transferred my wordpress theme to another host (in motion) as wordpress advised me to move for the plug ins etc. I now find my theme FOREFRONT has not moved. I cannot afford to buy again and I have spent hours getting it right PLEASE can you help…my website is all over the place

Premium themes are not transferred unless you moved to another host using Guided Transfer.
I suggest you get in touch with staff via Live Chat or email (support@wordpress.com) and request them if they can refund your money.

Apparently not after a certain time..thanks…the guided transfer won’t transfer the premium theme either I have just found out!

A Guided Transfer would indeed come with a copy of Forefront, since that’s a premium theme made by Automattic and it’s included. Could you please let me know where you were told that it’s not included?
An alternative would be to purchase the theme as a standalone at Creative Market, but the Guided Transfer is actually cheaper.

Thanks for letting me know, I’ve clarified things with that Happiness Engineer so they understand better what comes with the Guided Transfer. :)
Since Guided Transfers can only be used with our recommended hosts, it may not be suitable in your case since you’ve already selected another host.
You might want to look at Edin for your self-hosted site – it has some things in common with Forefront and might fit the bill if you’re not able to repurchase it.

I was told that in motion hosting was a partner with wordpress which is why I selected them as a host.

The only two hosts with which we perform Guided Transfers are listed here:

So I am back to square one. I have to re purchase the theme. I assumed that when I bought the theme and the premium package that wordpress.com would be perfectly adequate for my purpose but I cannot even use plug ins. I cannot afford to rebuy the theme, especially if I do not know that it will work.

With in motion hosting it looks like wordpress.com not org so there are only 5 themes available

In Motion hosting is not WordPress.com – you should be able to use whatever theme you like, by downloading and installing it. You can contact their support folks if you need help installing a theme, or ask for help in the WordPress.org support forums:
You’ll need a free WordPress.org account to post – if you don’t already have one, you can register here:
