  • Resolved vdrive

    (@vdrive)


    Hello all,

    I got the error below while trying to install a theme:

    The package could not be installed. The style.css stylesheet doesn’t contain a valid theme header.

    Theme install failed.

    What can be the cause of this and how do I resolve it.

    Thanks

    Your theme’s vendors should know what’s going on here, you can contact them.

    Make sure you installed the theme and not the whole packaged you got from Themeforest.

    Unpack the zipped file from TF and inside of it you’ll find the theme zip.

    If that is what you did then copy paste the first 10 lines of style.css here.

    That’s exactly what I did. Here’s the first ten lines as requested:

    @charset utf-8;
    
    /*
    Theme Name :  Averin
    Theme URI:    http://www.wptitans.com/averin
    Description:  A premium template for blog and magazines. Follow us on <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/wptitan">Twitter</a> or find more              awesome products at <a href="http://themeforest.net/user/wptitans">Themeforest</a>.

    /*

    The empty space in the description after “find more” and before “awesome” is confusing.

    Try changing it to this and see what happens.

    @charset utf-8;
    
    /*
