 * Hi MapofTassie.,
    WordPress theme must need index.php and style.css in base folder.
   Please check its wordpress theme.

 * Thanks Rajan, how do I do that? Is it contained within the .zip compressed file?
   Do I need to go back to the theme developer?
 * There’s no folder in the .zip theme folder (once unzipped) that looks relevant.
   Folders are:
 * documentation
    Licensing patches psd www
 * OR, is it something in wordpress that needs installing before I load the theme.
   zip file?
 * Thank you for your help!

 * That’s a commercial product and those are [not supported in these forums](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products).
   You need to contact the vendor that you purchased that theme from.

 * When you made that purchase then you should have also received installation instructions.

 * You’re good, I just didn’t want you to spend too much time asking here when the
   install authors instructions might get you working sooner . 😉
