 * I get the following, likely a file location thing because site is functioning
   fine using the theme. I don’t really know where the file should be. I do see 
   it in the project directory using ftp.
 * >>>
    Unpacking the package…
 * Installing the theme…
 * The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
 * Theme install failed.

 * This typically happens when you are trying to install a plugin using the theme
   installer.
 * If you are trying to install a plugin, go to Plugins > Add New in your site’s
   Dashboard. Then click the “Upload Plugin” button at the top of the page next 
   to the “Add Plugins” header.

 * I thought this could be the case, I’ve made the mistake before. 🙂 So I checked
   myself, confirmed I’m in the theme upgrade area, the updated theme uploaded, 
   I pulled the yes flag for upgrade, and bump.. I get the fail message.

 * Same problem as Chris Jean, it failed to update the theme because it says there’s
   a missing style sheet.

 * Can you confirm that the zip file you supplied does in fact contain a style.css
   file? The message comes from WordPress and not the plugin, so the message is 
   saying that WordPress unzipped the file contents and did not find a style.css
   file inside.

 * Zip file in my case does indeed include a style.css file. Using a THB Theme that
   seems to be complete.

 * Would you be able to share the zip file that is failing with me?
 * You can send it to [wordpress.cb18@spamgourmet.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-stylesheet-8/wordpress.cb18@spamgourmet.com?output_format=md).
   Please include a link to this support request so that I can reference where it
   came from. Thanks.

 * Hi Chris,
    I am having this same issue. And no, the zip file when I download 
   does not contain a style.css file that I can see.
 * Thank you, Summer
