 * Hey,
    I’m trying to install Orbisius Child Theme Creator on my self-hosted site
   but when I try to install directly from the .zip file, I get this error message:
 * > Unpacking the package…
   > Installing the theme…
   > The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the `style.css` stylesheet.
   > Theme install failed.
 * How do I go about fixing this?
 * Thanks

 * Are you installing it as a PLUGIN? (It creates child themes, but it is not a 
   theme.)

 * ConduciveMammal, WPyogi is correct. You’re trying to install it as a theme. It
   should be added from WP Admin > Plugins > Add
 * WPyogi, great guess! Thanks for helping.
