Uploading themes to word press
-
Hi,
I have a free account. Looking to upgrade to a premium but want to design my site first before paying any money. I have found a free real estate theme online and downloaded this as a zip.
I want to use this real estate theme as my website theme. From watching youtube videos I go to themes> Add theme and sleect that theme. However this option is no longer there. Then I would go to plugin and do the business…
However it doesn’t allow me to do this because the options are not there. What do I do? Please help.
This is the theeme – https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-property/screenshots/
Kind regards,

The YouTubes you are watching are only for wordpress.ORG software installs. They do not apply to blogs hosted by WordPress.COM sites like http://bluetreehousescomblog.wordpress.com/
WordPress.com and WordPress.org are separate and different. You are confusing wordpress.com hosted blogs and wordpress.org installs on paid hosting.
The only themes we can use here at wordpress.COM on wordpress.COM hosted blogs are found at https://wordpress.com/themes/
You cannot install any custom theme or any third party theme into any wordpress.COM hosted blog and there is no upgrade that changes that. I believe you are confusing WordPress.ORG software with WordPress.COM hosted blogs.
There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/The only themes we can use on WordPress.com hosted blogs are licensed and adapted to run on our multiuser software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and in your dashboard at > Appearance > Themes
See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
If you want to hire a web host go to http://wordpress.org/hosting first and then set up your own WordPress.ORG install.
If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page -
Hi thanks for the help! SO basically they’re two different sites, for two different uses?
Therefore, if I go to wordpress.org I can install realtor themes and proceed that way?
Thanks for the help!
