  Is there any way of using a customised template from Theme Forest (Libra) and remaining with the WordPress community? Thanks

  The blog I need help with is heartmama.net.

  I’m sorry, but themes can’t be uploaded to WordPress.com. That’s a feature of self-hosted blogs through WordPress.org.

  You may use any of the available themes we have under Appearance > Themes in your dashboard, and you may want to look into purchasing the Custom Design Upgrade to customize one of the themes we offer.

  Thanks for that. But what is the relationship between Theme Forest themes and WordPress? They have some WordPress themes…I don’t get it. :)

  The themes at Themeforest are for self-hosted sites that run the WordPress.org version. To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.

  Please check out the following links to learn the differences.
