    Hello

    Hi didn’t pay big attention on that ; I created an account for free hosting on wordpress.com

    Does it have anything to do with original wordpress.org ?

    If yes, is there a way to get support ? I’d like to install a theme which I can find in wordpress.org catalogue, but not on wordpress.com

    And it seems there is no way to install theme manually

    Thank you !

    Will

    WordPress.com isn’t related to WordPress.org, here’s an article explaining the differences: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    No, nothing at all. .com hosts sites and .org does not.

    Correct. In order to do that, you would first have to purchase hosting somewhere so you could have what is called a self-hosted site running WordPress as available from here at wordpress.org.

    Thank you

    I didn’t know that :

    [wordpress] comes in two flavors: the fully hosted WordPress.com, and the self-hosted version, whose software is available for free at WordPress.org.

    Thank you very much !
