  I recently bought a WordPress theme that I really like from a different website, the link is below:

  https://themeforest.net/item/affinity-a-genuinely-gigantic-refreshing-multipurpose-theme/18105800?_ga=1.124386250.1399086365.1478033807

  Am I not able to make this theme my main WordPress theme? Even if I upgrade to a business account plan?

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

  Hello,

  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.

  Here you can find more information: support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes

  You can check the wide variety of WordPress.com themes here, to see if any of them fits your needs: wordpress.com/themes

  If you want to use the theme you purchased, you can switch from WordPress.com to the WordPress.org software.

  Cheers,
  Gina
