  I am trying to load a theme that I purchased into a wordpress.com page. I read that this is not possible if the blog was set up on wordpress.com only wordpress.org. How do I migrate this to WordPress.org so I can import my theme? Or do I have to set up a whole new blog?

  I am trying to get this set up today. Thank you!

  Hi there!

  This guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

  As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site – including the importing of the file – must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:

  If you’d like assistance moving your WordPress.com site to WordPress.org, we have a service called Guided Transfer that does all the work for you. Check it out to see if it’s right for you:
