  Hi there!
  I bought a theme a couple of days ago and the instruction tole me to go the the WP admin > appearance > theme > upload theme

  It seemed easy, but i couldn’t find the upload theme button anywhere, i even tried upgrading to the $99 and also tried by getting a domain.

  But still couldn’t upload my own theme.
  If the staff could help it would be very awesome.

  Thanks!

  Hi,
  A theme can’t be uploaded and installed on a WordPress.com site. We can only use the ones here: https://theme.wordpress.com/

  If you really want to use your new theme, you’d need to register a domain (which you’ve already done), buy hosting, and set up your site using the free software from WordPress.org: https://wordpress.org/

  If you decide to stay on WordPress.com, contact the theme seller about a refund.
