  Hello there,

  Which theme are you referring to? If it is a WordPress theme that needs to be uploaded (aka not one found here https://theme.wordpress.com/) then that theme is most likely for a WordPress.org site meanwhile yours is a WordPress.com site. Here’s the difference between the two https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Hope that helps,
  Sage

  Okay, now that makes sense. Okay, new questions you might be able to answer, Sage. What is the best way to host a WordPress.Org theme?

  Hey there!

  It really depends on your requirements, budget, estimated site traffic, etc. Here’s the official WordPress.org hosting suggestions https://wordpress.org/hosting/

  They don’t mention my personal preference there which is wpengine.com :)

  For any future WordPress.org support, it’ll be best if you head over to their support forums https://wordpress.org/support/

  Hope that helps,
  Sage
