    …but not on my Bluehost WordPress blog? I’ve tried several themes that I like here, but don’t seem to look the same or operate the same on Bluehost.

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

    As your site uses the open source wordpress.org, you find a lof of themes you can use at https://wordpress.org/themes/.
    Most of the themes need some customization. You find this info on the webpage of that theme.

    Hi there,

    What is the URL of your Bluehost site, and what theme are you trying to use on it?

    While all of our themes on WordPress.com can be used on self-hosted WordPress sites, they might not have all the features that’s available here. Most of them also require the Jetpack plugin to work correctly.

    Addtionally, with our newer block-based themes in particular, activating the theme on your Bluehost site will not automatically add the theme’s demo homepage to your site, the way it would if you activated the theme on a WordPress.com site.

    So that could be why the theme doesn’t look the way you expect. But if you can give us some more details on what exactly you’re trying to do we can see if we’re able to help from this end.
