    It looks like you are on our most basic plan with ishaqabdulaziz1191.wordpress.com, the free plan.

    All the themes on the free plan are designed to be 100% reliable and so are “symlinked”. That means the same core file is shared by all the sites using that theme. It means we can keep it constantly up to date and fix it for everyone if anything ever comes up.

    Our free plan is the most basic, but you can certainly upgrade to gain this sort of functionality.

    The Creator plan gives you the full range of options you can get with a WordPress site while still getting our rock-solid reliability, security and site speeds.

    So, while the option is not currently available, you could certainly upgrade to make it possible.

    If you decide to do so, this guide explains how to create child themes that you can edit – https://wordpress.com/support/themes/child-themes/
