Support » Fixing WordPress » Style.css Not Found

  • I’ve attempted to install 3 different “coming soon” themes found in WordPress Themes search. I downloaded the files. Attempted to install them into the WordPress CMS and ALL 3 times, I received an error messages that says:

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

    Upon a manual check of the files, the style.css stylesheet IS there. How can I install these themes?

    Check the permissions of the wp-content and wp-content/themes and wp-content/themes/yourtheme folders.

    You can do that using an FTP client, or the File Manager tool in your hosting control panel.

    They should be 755.

    Check the style.css file – should be 644.

    Can you type the url to your stylesheet into the browser and view it?

    You say you downloaded the files. Did you download them as a zip file? If so, did you upload that zip file to WordPress > Appearance > Themes?

    Or did you do it manually? In which case, when you unzipped did you check that they weren’t inside an additional unnecessary folder?
