What happened to the "install theme" tab?
-
I just purchased a theme from elegantthemes.com, and it had a tutorial on how to install my theme to wordpress. In the tutorial I was instructed to log in, go to the appearance tab>themes and click on the “Install Themes” tab at the top of the page. The problem is, the tab is not there. The help section also told me I could not install themes. Was the tab removed? I can clearly see it in the video, but its no longer there. Just a “Manage Tab” theme is left. Thank you for the help!

The tutorial you are reading is for WordPress.org installs only.
I’m sorry but unless you are referring to a premium theme you purchased from WordPress.com http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/premium-themes/ you will need to get a refund. The only themes we can use on free hosted WordPress.com blogs are found here > Appearance > Themes
see also > http://theme.wordpress.com/There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot install plugins, upload third-party themes or edit templates or themes. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.
