Wordpress Theme Installation Problem, Pleasee Help. by Bossdavzy: 9:44pm On Oct 08, 2014
Plz help me on this post.

Anytime i tried uploading theme and i want to activate it, this is what they keep telling me;

'The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Theme install failed'

And there is style.css in the theme.

open style.css to see if it contains the correct WordPress theme declaration.

This is a common problem people face and their are lots of possible cause.

1. You should unzip the theme ...the main theme you are to upload might be in the zip. Unzip and see if you see another zip file in it.....that's the most popular problem.


2. Try to upload the theme via ftp.....I recommend filezilla

Contact the theme developer for help, most time issue like that happen when you download theme from hackers site or blog.

You don't get issue like ds from pay theme.

Same problem will occur if u try using ftp.
