  Hello there,

  If you downloaded a WP theme I’m going to assume it was for a WordPress.org site build which is quite different from .com. Here is the difference between the two https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions,
  Sage

  re: all sites hosted by wordpress.COM

  The only themes we can use on WordPress.com hosted blogs are licensed and adapted to run on our multiuser software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and in your dashboard at > Appearance > Themes

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs for security reasons and we cannot:
  upload any third party themes,
  create child themes,
  create our own themes,
  edit templates,
  create own own layouts,
  or use stylesheets from other themes.

  Read: Uploading Custom Themes http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  There is no upgrade you can purchase here at WordPress.COM that changes that reality.
