I am new to wp. My hosting site is iPage.
Purchased a template through Creative Market and installed it to wp and trying to activate it and not having much luck. I don’t want to spend hours with the mucky muck. Would like this new site up and running. I was told there was a support number to call.

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

This is the WordPress.com support forum,. It is NOT the iPage support forum and that’s where you need to post to as we provide support here only for free hosted WordPress.com blogs and there is no phone support here.

If you are referring to http://aldesignsdotme.wordpress.com/ and if you want to use any third party theme or build your own theme then don’t waste any time here at all.

The only themes you can use on a free hosted WordPress.com blog are those found here > Appearance > Themes and showcased here > http://wordpress.com/themes/

You cannot build your own theme or import a theme and use it on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. We do not have FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we not able to upload any third party themes.

There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes that. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

We don’t build sites here at WordPress.COM. We follow this step by step guide http://learn.wordpress.com to set yp our blogs and begin blogging on them.

If you are into building a site by creating your own theme you need to hire a web host and set up a WordPress.ORG install.
