YOU CANNOT INSTALL WORDPRESS THEMES ON A WORDPRESS.COM BLOGGING ACCOUNT

A. If you’ve downloaded whole theme package (see image below), unzip it.
There you will find 3-4 folders such as:
- Documentation
- PSD
- Theme
Open the theme folder and you will find 2 zip files:
- theme_name.zip (this is the theme you need to upload)
- theme_name-child.zip (see child section for more info about child theme)
B. Alternatively you can simply download the installable WordPress file (see image below) You should have the lush.zip archive by itself, which is the file to upload via the dashboard.
