Can't install "Cheers" theme

    Hello,

    I am trying to use the Cheers theme on my website but can’t get it to activate.

    I have a GoDaddy hosted account where I keep all my wordpress sites which are all associated with domain names I own. Instead of the domainname.wordpress.com address, I just use domainname.com. Usually I choose a theme, install it, and activate it and the files show up on the server which I access with an FTP client.

    So, I can get the Cheers theme to activate on my free blog site that uses the extension “wordpress.com” but it doesn’t even show up in the themes search within the dashboard of my site that is hosted through GoDaddy.com.

    It seems to be an issue with a wordpress hosted site vs. a privately hosted site, I guess I might just be confused with the difference between wordpress.com and .org, I thought they were pretty much interchangeable.

    I would greatly appreciate any help.

    Aaron

    I could not find cheers theme listed in the WP free theme directory.
    Is Cheers a premiun theme? If it is you may want to contact the vendor.

    Uploading Custom Themes

    The theme upload functionality is exclusive to privately hosted blogs and sites using the WordPress.org software. This means that you cannot upload any themes to your WordPress.com blog (even if they’re available at the WordPress.org theme repository). Learn more.

    Hmmm. I guess I just don’t understand. I am not trying to upload a new theme. I was just trying to install and activate the template, and when I have done this with other themes the theme’s folder is added to my hosted godaddy account’s server which I access through an FTP client.

    I will have to read up. Thank you for your response, I do appreciate it.
