  Do I have to upgrade to premium now if I want to work on my Envato bought wordpress theme?
  If so, does that price include hosting or its just for editing my site? Everyone told me wordpress is free

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

  Hi @myndhaq,
  Users on WordPress.COM are not allowed to upload custom themes from any third party sources like envato.

  That being said, you can’t upload a theme from envato on your WordPress.com site. You can only choose from over 370 themes from the official WordPress.com theme page.

  Read more about it here:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  If you wish to add your own theme from sources outside WordPress.com then you might want to switch to WordPress.ORG-a self-hosted platfrom for creating sites, blogs and more…

  If you already have a blog here and want to move the content from WordPress.com to WordPress.org then follow the instructions given here:
  https://move.wordpress.com/

  You can find the the differences between WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG here:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  And if you need help building your site using WordPress.ORG then please post your questions on the .ORG support forum: https://wordpress.org/support/, because this forum only supports the sites hosted on WordPress.COM.

  Hope this helps :)
