  Please read:
  FTP access http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  Blogger installed plugins http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/
  Uploading Custom Themes or Third Party Themes
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  You require a Business plan to upload custom themes or third party themes.

  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.

  Please read this support doc: https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  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 Business Plan see: Moving to Self-Hosted WordPress http://move.wordpress.com

  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 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 @dearfashiongirl

  Yes. To use your own themes at wordpress.com you need the $24.92 plan. Check this link to know more about the Bussiness Plan.

  @franfernandz
  I like to make it clear to those who post here that there are no monthly payment plans for any upgrades. We are billed annually and must pay the full amount of the Business upgrade subscription for one year at the time of purchase.

  @timethief I know that.
  I never told her that it was a monthly payment or something, I just answered her using the price she mentioned. As soon as she entered the link I copied her, she was going to see that the payment was annual as it is clarified on the page.

  I hope I have clarified my comment and thank you for yours. It will teach me to be more specific in future answers :)
