    Will you please post an active link starting with http:// to the free hosted WordPress.com blog you purchased the premium theme for? Will you also state which premium them you purchased ie. provide the name of the theme?

    In the event you are not referring to a free hosted WordPress.com blog but are referring to a wordpress.org install, then you are posting to the wrong support forum, and ought to be posting to this one instead http://wordpress.org/support/

    You bought a theme from an external source, and you can't use that on a WordPress.COM blog. You can only use themes you find on your dashboard under Themes. Ask Woothemes for your money back.

    Do I have to use wordpress.org to use a purchased theme?? Woo themes designs are for wordpress. I know many people that have done this????

    I repeat that we cannot upload third party themes into free hosted WordPress.com blogs. Those themes are only for WordPress.org installs.

    For clarity please read this > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    Got it! I just read the elegant themes entry. So to use a purchased 3rd party theme we would have to open a new .org account in a new name?

    No, .org is only a resource for people using software from WordPress.org. You have to buy paid hosting and a domain name and install the software and THEN you can use your purchased theme. It's not usually worth it to move just to use a new theme. Woothemes even has some they made just for WordPress.COM, and those are on your dashboard.

    Just email them and ask. They're a very reputable company.

    I purchased the simplicity theme ...

    I don't think that theme was purchased through WordPress.com as the theme name does not appear among those that are available to us here > Appearance > Themes or here http://theme.wordpress.com/
