    I purchased a WP blog theme from TemplateMoster.com and I am trying to upload the theme the the WP site when I log in. I am following the instructions to upload the new theme except where the instructions tell me to go to “appearance” and click on ‘theme’ and then click on “add new theme”,…..well there IS NO “add new theme” link,….so now what? I definitely like the theme I purchased better than any of the current offerings on the WP site itself,…….am I just screwed now?

    All info to help me out would be great.

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

    This is the WordPress.com support forum where we provide support only for free hosted WordPress.com blogs like the one linked to your username. There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs like the one linked to your username and we cannot install individual plugins or third party themes into them. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

    On free hosted wordpress.COM blogs we can only use the themes which have been coded to run on this multi-user software and made available to us here. > Appearance > Themes and no others. If you wish to have complete control over a blog, the ability to upload themes like the one you bought and plugins, and to edit themes and templates then your option is to hire a web host and get a free software install from WordPress.ORG and self host it.

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
