Here is an article that highlights .org vs .com: https://ithemes.com/tutorials/wordpress-com-vs-wordpress-org/
I am assuming that the page where changes are not showing up is your home page right?
If so then have a check at the article on how to set a specific page as your static front page.

Typically WordPress defaults to your blog page as the front page for your site.

]]>I tried to download WordPress WinZip 4.9.1 theme.I received a pop up from WinZip saying I need to make a payment. Is there a way to download WordPress for free without paying.
]]>You can download WordPress for free here: https://www.ads-software.com/download/
Winzip here: https://www.winzip.com/landing/download-winzip.html
You can use WinZip to unzip WordPress files into directory of your choice and run the install.
If you have a hosting company with Softaculous you can use one-click install without needing to use the zip file.
