wordpress.com theme vs wordpress.org theme
-
We purchased the fortune theme on wordpress.com and built our site. Then decided we were going to continue with our existing host, so now we need to move our site over to wordpress.org — it appears that there is a fortune theme available on .org, but it’s not a premium theme – does that mean it will offer less customizations and we will lose features when we port it over?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Themes cannot be transferred between wordpress.COM and wordpress.ORG sites. https://en.support.wordpress.com/premium-themes/#how-to-get-a-premium-theme You have to contact the theme designer to get a version for wordpress.ORG software. See: Moving to self hosted wordpress http://move.wordpress.COM
Generally speaking, WordPress.ORG theme versions offer far more customization capability because wordpress.COM is a multi-user blogging platform with off the shelf themes. We wordpress.com bloggers do not have access to the template files underlying our themes on wordpress.COM hosted blogs and cannot edit them. All wordpress.COM blogs wearing the same theme use the same underlying template found on the live demo site for each theme.
I will tag this thread for a Staff follow-up as premium themes have to be removed by theme before sites can be deleted.

Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account.
You have to be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard, cancel any upgrades, claim a refund for any qualified upgrades, and disable auto-renew.
If you are not logged in under the correct username account then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies prior to logging into another account
You can manage all of your WordPress.com purchases by navigating to the Me section of WordPress.com and then choosing the option to Manage Purchases from the sidebar.
Select any purchase in order to view options for managing it. The options available will be different based on the upgrade you choose.

Hi @vemasystems!
The Fortune in the WordPress.org repository looks like a different theme, by a different designer – they just have the same name :)
Here is a link to the theme shop that wrote the Fortune theme you see here on WordPress.com:
https://themesharbor.com/downloads/You’ll find Fortune in that list. You can also contact the theme author, let them know you’re moving to .org and see if they have any advice regarding the theme.
To contact them, visit https://wordpress.com/theme/fortune
On the support tab, you’ll see a link to the forum for that specific theme.
