# Missing Stylesheet

 * I have tried with quite a few new (tested on WordPress 2.0) skins to get a new
   theme for my brand new blog. Each and every time I download a file and then upload
   it to my server, I get an error message saying that the data is installed, but
   the Stylesheet is missing.
 * How do I correct this so that I can install one of these skins?

 * Make sure of two things:
 * 1) That the theme is reasonably current (WP 1.5 and above)
 * B) When you unzip the theme, you might be getting an extra “layer” of directories.
   For instance, I just unzipped a new theme and got something like:
 * `themeNamethemeName`all my files including style.css
 * Well, that’s no good. Too many folders and when I uploaded it WP reported it 
   as broken. Once I got that extra “themeName” folder out of there, all was good.

 * The extra layer didn’t, fortunately, happen with me. What I have noticed, however,
   is that all the style.css files, and there are three of them, have been renamed
   to style[1].css, style[2].css and so on. These three files are of differing sizes,
   so presumably all are needed, despite all having the same name. Removing the 
   additional number is not going to help …
 * Another skin that I downloaded has four style.css files and a third has only 
   one but it is named stylesmf.css and that doesn’t seem to wish to work either–
   not even when I rename it styles.css.

 * Where are you finding these themes? Are they actually for WordPress? Have you
   tried looking at themes.wordpress.net?
