  Hello @emiliejasmine
  Welcome to WordPress.COM!

  Sorry… but we cannot upload themes on WordPress.COM. We can only use the themes from the WordPress.COM themes repository.

  More information about it here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  The goal of WordPress.COM is to keep things simple. So that the technical stuffs are handled by WordPress and we focus on creating quality content.

  If you wish to upload custom theme on your site, you can use WordPress.ORG-a self hosted platform/software to create blogs, websites and more, with greater customization possibilities.

  Find out the differences between WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG here:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you wish to move your blog from WordPress.COM to WordPress.ORG, follow the instructions given here:
  https://move.wordpress.com/

  You can ask for help while creating your site using WordPress.ORG on this support forum: https://wordpress.org/support/. Because, this forum only supports the sites hosted on WordPress.COM.

  Hope this helps 🙂

  Hi, @emiliejasmine

  Uploading custom themes is now a feature of the Business plan on WordPress.com:

  If you need any more information, just let me know.
