On WordPress.com, you can use any of the themes in our Theme Showcase, but it's not possible to install new themes. You can only install themes on a self-hosted WordPress.org site.

Since you already have a hosting account at Blue Host, what you'll need to do is download the latest version of the self-hosted WordPress software from WordPress.org, and install that on your Bluehost web space. Check with Bluehost support if you need assistance with this step.

Once you've got WordPress running on your Bluehost web space, you'll be able to install your theme over there.

For more information about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, check out this page.

I then bought a theme from themeforest.com.

After that I realized i couldn't install it under themes, so I opened an account with bluehost to host the site. However, i had several problems and the domains weren't pointing to bluehost even though i changed the name server.

Is there a way to just install the theme on my current log in with wordpress since i have a host?
