  Hello!

  I haven’t used wordpress in a while. However I wanted to get back into it and I wanted to move a few of my purchased themes to a different blog I have with wordpress. I use to be able to do this easily and now for the life of me I can’t figure out how to do it.

  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Are both blogs hosted by wordpress.COM?
  What are both URLs?

  Are you referring to one of the only themes we can use on wordpress.COM hosted blogs that are all found here https://wordpress.com/themes/?

  If yes, then are you using this guide? https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/

  The only themes we can use on WordPress.com hosted blogs are licensed and adapted to run on our multiuser software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and in your dashboard at > Appearance > 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.

  See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  There is no upgrade you can purchase here at WordPress.COM that changes that reality.

  If both blogs are hosted by wordpress.COM and are registered under the same username account see https://en.support.wordpress.com/manage-purchases/

  Hi. Yes both blogs are from wordpress.COM and they are both under the same account. None of the support links you posted tell you how to transfer the theme from one blog to another. :/

  What are the URLs of both sites?
  And, exactly which username accounts registered each one?
  Which premium theme are you referring to?

  dysfunctionalyou.wordpress.com (has two themes I want moved)
  pushkaapproved.wordpress.com (has two themes I want moved)

  I would like all the themes moved to https://ramblingdamsel.wordpress.com which is under this same account. :/ I dont use either of the other two blogs, and I plan on using this one and I would like the option of the themes I have previously purchased.

  Hi there,

  I’ve moved those themes to the ramblingdamsel site as requested, so you should now be able to apply all of them if you go to My Site ->Themes for that site.

  Please let me know if I can help with anything else.
