  Hi,

  Mind to share with me how to change my template in WordPress? I don’t like the template in WordPress when I host with them and would like to use my own template. But I didn’t see any button or link to upload my template to the WordPress host. Please advise

  With wordpress.com hostings, it is using WordPress multi-user and not normal wordpress. The only templates available are those ‘adapted by staff’ to use with all the users of the service. Adding your own templates are not possible. You can get the CSS upgrade if you know CSS and adapt a current theme to look like the one you want, but not a ‘drop and drag’ kind of approach. As well, that will only change the template look and not the template itself.

  Hope that helps explain it.

  Um, in the poster’s other thread, the poster mentions that they’re hosted elsewhere. Trent’s answer is actually for those blogs hosted here. If you’re looking at a blog hosted elsewhere, please review this page:

  Hope this helps,
