    Right.

    Uploading Custom Themes

    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. Learn more.

    Instead of uploading a theme, try checking out the current theme collection to see if there’s an option there that will work well for you.

    Hi there – as galois explained, third-party themes can’t be uploaded to WordPress.com. If you prefer to use the theme you purchased, you’ll need to find hosting and set up a self-hosted site, with the WordPress software running on your own hosting.

    You can learn more here about the differences between WordPress.com and self-hosted (WordPress.org) sites:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
