  My website that I currently have contains the free plan. I am starting another website and I can’t upload a theme without upgrading to a paid version, yet for my old website I can upload themes without any problem. Any suggestions or insight?

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

  Upgrades apply to a single site and for a single year only when they are due to be renewed.

  Please read:

  Blogger installed plugins http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/
  Uploading Custom Themes or Third Party Themes

  You require a Business plan to upload custom themes or third party themes to a wordpress.COM hosted site.

  Otherwise you can use these themes https://wordpress.com/themes/

  We have 4 different plans: free, personal, premium and business. All hosting is free regardless of which plan you choose. You can view all wordpress.com plan features here https://wordpress.com/pricing/ Add a plan for each of your sites here: http://store.wordpress.com/plans/.

  The Business upgrade includes:
  • Google analytics
  • Footer Credit Options https://en.support.wordpress.com/footer-credits/
  • SEO Tools https://en.support.wordpress.com/seo-tools/
  • The ability to install most plugins including woocommerce and the ability to install third party themes.

  You could be confusing wordpress.COM hosted sites and wordpress.ORG self hosted sites. 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 require plugins and/or Custom Themes or Third Party Themes and do not wish to purchase a WordPress.COM Business Plan see: Moving to Self-Hosted WordPress http://move.wordpress.com
