Hi, I am newbie here. So I am still learning.
I finally made up my mind and purchased Newspaper 9. And I am now trying to decide my hosting service. I would like to know if Tagdiv Newsaper 9 theme and all it’s demos work fine with wordpress.com? I read the related posts here on the forum and seems the responses could not make it crystal clear. One reply from the staff team even said the the earlier version (8.X) of the theme could only workw ith wordpress.org. And multiple people seems had problem to upload to wordpress.
I know wordpress.com allows third party theme to be uploaded if business plan is subscribed. And this si what I plan to do if I shoudl choose wordpress.com But anyone expereince any problem installing or running TD composer, TD library with wordpress.com? What are the problems? I am want to focus the discussion on Newspaper 9 and it’s updated resoruces, not the earlier verions.
If wordpress.com is not the best option to you, which hosting service would you recommend that would work perfectly with News 9 theme all the plug-ins and all the TD resoruces. What are some drawbacks you can think of with wordpress.com related to the NEwspaper 9 theme, TD composer, demos and related resources?
Thank you for your insights!

Hi,
We haven’t tested in a wordpress.com environment up to this point, from what I know there are users that use the theme successfully in those circumstances, while others have various issues it seems.
For example this user was receiving a message when trying to access the theme panel
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/403-forbidden-permission-denied-our-sentries-tell-us-that-you-should-not-be-her/
That message is not coming from the theme, maybe the wordpress support there could have been able to clear things out.
However ultimately if the issue from above or other issues that may happen cannot be solved, we can provide a refund and you can try a different theme.

Thank you for your reply simion. Those are the websites I visited when I did my research.
I want to report back that I have decided to go with Bluehost’s wordpress hosting plan to avoid the potential troubles with wordpress.com
I had successfuly installed the Newspaper 9 theme, demo and TD composer to WordPress (Bluest branded) last night. Things are working fine so far.
Now I am learning to use the TagDiv composer. I will post questions when I come across them.
Thanks again.
