  Can I upload a theme I already purchased for a paid site I use w/ WordPress to a free “basic” wordpress site (e.g. rbsimps00.wordpress.com) or do I have to use another hosting site with WP availability to do this?

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

  Themes can’t be uploaded to sites hosted on WordPress.com. They can only be uploaded to self-hosted blogs running on WordPress.org software. You can read more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  On WordPress.com, you can select from a variety of themes to change your blog’s appearance. You can read more about customizing the appearance and theme of your blog on WordPress.com here:

  Thanks so much for the clarification. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something before I added a self-hosted site with WordPress as I wanted to try another theme I purchased for another site I use on WordPress. I’ll try it out with my “test” self-hosted site through WordPress and go from there…

  Thanks for the timely response!
