CSS style sheet

Hi,

While trying to upload a theme from my desktop, I keep getting
this error message:

"The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet."

Can someone tell me what this means and how to fix it?

Thank you

Mike

  • style.css is a required file that needs to be included inside the root of a valid WordPress theme.
    Make sure the theme you are trying to upload has this file inside it.
    Also, make sure template files are not stored in multiple folders inside the .zip archive.
    For example, a valid WordPress archived theme should look like this:
    Open (not extract) .zip archive with WinRar. Inside it you should find a folder named the same as the theme and inside this folder you should find template files and folders. Among these files you should find a style.css file, index.php file, etc. If you can't find these files, your theme is either corrupted or has an invalid archive structure.

    • Hi Zenoth,

      The file does contain the style css folder.

      Maybe the file is corrupt, don't really know how to check this.

      Bought this theme from someone here on the forum, but can't login to
      support.

      It's these little shit problems that keep trying to bring me down.

      But I will never give up

      Hence the name: perpetualmike

      Will keep trying to get in touch with the theme seller.

      Thanks for you reply

      Mike

  • You should look at a style.css file. It should be has content like that:

    Code:
    /*
Theme Name: Template Name
Theme URI: an url to theme page
Author: Author name
Author URI: an url to author page
Description: The modern responsive wordpress theme for portfolio team.
Version: 1.0
License: GNU General Public License v2 or later
License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html
Tags: light, multi-purpose, responsive
