    You cannot install a third-party theme into a free hosted WordPress.com blog like the one linked to your username. You will need to ask for a refund if that’s what you thought you could do on that blog or any free hosted WordPress.com blog because you can’t. There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs like the one linked to your username and we cannot install individual plugins or third party themes into them. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

    On free hosted wordpress.COM blogs we can only use the themes which have been coded to run on this multi-user software and made available to us here. > Appearance > Themes and no others.

    If you wish to have complete control over a blog, the ability to upload themes and plugins, and to edit themes and templates then your option is to hire a web host and get a free software install from WordPress.ORG and self host it.

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
