 * Hello. … after downloading and installing wordpress.org, i bought a theme
    package
   and i uploaded the theme, it uploaded the theme successfully after that i clicked“
   Activate”. Then suddenly it displayed “The active theme is broken. Reverting 
   to the default” then an error called: “ERROR: Stylesheet is missing.” And Now
   i cannot even select a free pre-installed theme….. Please Help Me…. I’ve looked
   through alot of forums but I only found topics related To style.css occurring

 * [@otto42](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otto42/), I think this plugin is
   installed by some hosting providers like iPage by default and it’s the hosting
   providers making everyone else’s lives more difficult.
