  First read the stickies at the top of the forum – https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/7-things-to-know-before-posting-in-wordpresscom-forums?replies=1 and https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/please-read-me-first-before-posting?replies=1 Second, you cannot use any themes here that are not listed in your dashboard.

  when you choose a theme click on it and on the top right of the page click activate the theme. It worked for me! Good luck.

  He’s talking about a theme for the other kind of WordPress, which won’t work here.
