  I recently purchased Salutation (a BuddyPress/Wordpress) theme through ThemeForest and I am having a very hard time uploading it. The instructions provided by ThemeForest are straight forward but can’t find the menu selections once I am on WordPress. Help, new to this world.
  Thanks.

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

  Purchased themes cannot be used on WP.com blogs. They can ONLY be used on WP.ORG blogs. You might want to ask for your money back.

  Hi imromero72,

  Welcome! It does look like you purchased a theme that can only be used on a self-hosted site running the WordPress software available from WordPress.org. Here on WordPress.com, users may use any of the themes available in our Theme Showcase.

  The differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org can be a source of confusion. Please view this support page which provides a nice overview of the differences.
