  I read on here that they don’t allow you to upload a custom theme. Does that mean that if I purchase a WordPress theme from etsy, I can’t use it on here?

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

  Hi there!

  That is correct. Custom themes, including those purchased on Etsy, will only work on WordPress.org.

  This support document provides more detail:

  That is correct; if you purchase a theme from etsy, you cannot use it here at WordPress.com.

  You can use any of the free or paid themes found here: https://theme.wordpress.com/

  Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions!
