  No. You cannot upload a theme to WordPress.com for security reasons. Those themes are for WordPress.ORG blogs. Get your money back.

  ? When we go to the Insta Theme web site, they sold it with the WORDPRESS.COM compatibility ?! It is always like this before ? I mean the “Security reason” ?

  Thanks for your answer

  The only themes we can use on free hosted WordPress.com blogs like your blog are the themes found here http://wordpress.com/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.

  There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes that. WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can create themes, upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, and edit the database, etc. Learn about the differences here. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  You didn’t read closely. They most likely said that it has “WordPress” compatibility. That means “WordPress.org.” It does not mean WordPress.com.
