  Hi there. I’ve joined Elegant Themes in order to use their Divi Theme to create my website. However, when I try to upload it here on WordPress, I can’t even find the regular dashboard to upload it with. Once I get to the dashboard, it’s easy, but how do I get there?
  I have no idea where to start. Can anyone help?

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

  Hi.
  You can’t use/upload/install a third-party or custom theme on WordPress.com:

  BTW, all the available themes on WordPress.com are here:

  I had the same issue yesterday. Why does Elegant themes tell you to purchase the Divi theme and upload it to the WordPress dashboard if there is no way to do it? I paid $99 for WordPress premium and $89 for Divi and have gotten no where today.

  Here is an example of them telling others to upload Divi to WordPress:

  @marie3561: See my response above, please.

  You can’t use/upload/install a third-party or custom theme on WordPress.com and the Divi theme is for WordPress.org installs:

  Uploading a third-party or custom theme is possible only on self-hosted sites using the WordPress.org software. This means that you cannot upload any themes to your WordPress.com site.
