  Hi guys,

  I purchased a theme about a month back and have finally got around to using it today. Problem is, when i try to load it to my wordpress account there is no ‘add theme’ selection… Is it an option reserved for ‘premium’ users?

  Please advise.

  Cheers,

  Bede

  Hello,
  Uploading themes is not an option for ‘premium’ users either.

  It sounds like you are using a self-hosted install.

  You’ll want to read this to make sure you understand the difference between WordPress.com and a self-hosted install of the WordPress software.

  If you need support for a self-hosted install, you can go to WordPress.org Support Forums.

  Or should I say, you are looking to use a self-hosted install. That is the only way to upload a theme.
