Hello, I purchased Salient to install on my freelance writing Wordpress website, PaigeCerulli.com. After reading the instructions provided with the Salient download, I found that there was no option to upload a theme through Wordpress. I investigated the topic in the Wordpress help section and found that Wordpress doesn't allow for custom themes to be uploaded to sites being hosted by Wordpress itself.
According to Wordpress, you can upload a custom theme when the site is hosted elsewhere. Bluehost was one of two services recommended, so I transferred my site's hosting to Bluehost.
Unfortunately, there is still no option to upload a custom theme. I have checked the documents in your help section and attempted to extract and upload the Salient file through the File Manager section of Bluehost. No matter how many times I've tried this, the theme is not shown when I log into my Wordpress admin/themes page.
I have spent almost 5 hours working on this issue, researching, and trying to find a solution. If I can't upload this theme to my site, I have no use for it. Every article I find shows an option to upload a theme right on the Wordpress admin page, but that is not an option for my site. I have purchased the site and own the domain, and am currently running a free theme.
I would be very grateful for any help that you can provide me. Thank you.

Hey Paige,
Try installing the Envato Market plugin as that should automatically install the Theme on your install.
Update the theme by following this guide: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/ .
Best.
