  Ok so im new to WordPress and i keep getting errors when i try to upload themes via ftp or admin page. When i try to upload my own via the admin page i get this

  Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2016/01. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

  When i put the theme in via ftp it doesn’t show.

  So i found options.php and would this be where i would set wordpress/wp-content ??? (click the gyazo link)

  Hello,

  Sorry but your upload issue isn’t for your WordPress.com site http://boucherconstruction.wordpress.com/ and those (WordPress.com sites) are the only sites we provide support for here.

  You basically can’t upload themes to your WordPress.com site via ftp or the WP Admin page.

  Here’s the support page explaining why you can’t:

  From the looks of it, you may be having an issue uploading themes to your WordPress.org site which is different from your WordPress.com site.

  Here’s how they differ:
