You will have to return that theme to Elegant Themes and ask for a refund if you intend to continue to blog here at WordPress.com.

To do that you must hire a web host and set up your own WordPress.org install.

The only themes we can use on free hosted WordPress.com blogs are those found here > Appearance > Themes and there is no upgrade you can purchase that changes that.

Because of the way WordPress.com’s technical infrastructure is designed, we are not able to support uploading of custom WordPress themes on our service.

I followed the instructions for downloading the elegant theme. Then when I went to upload it onto our WordPress account, I couldn't find out how to upload it. I watched a tutorial on their website and when uploading a theme you must upload the .ZIP file onto our WordPress Dashboard. I went under the Appearance tab, just like the instructions said, and went to click the "Install Themes" tab but it wasn't there. (It is supposed to be by the top of the page). Does anyone know why this is happening? Any advice would be helpful.
