    I am a WordPress novice, meaning I have built older sites with WordPress using Elementor with no issue but in 2020 I am building a Landing Page and I am trying to use what looks like a very simple template named Innovo. I am using the new WordPress 5.6 and have tried to use several different purchased templates purchased from Envato. Surprisingly non of them work. I have searched the net and have seen the zip inside the zip fix on YouTube but this is not the case in any of the theme zips I have tried. repeat there is not an additional zip file or the same-named unzipped folder in the uncompressed zip. I really appreciate any and all help you can provide. Since Envato is a creditable site I was wondering if it could be something with 5.6? Thanks in advance.

    Can you install themes downloaded from https://wordpress.org/themes? Let’s separate this from a possible issue with Envato.

    Yes! That was very interesting and unexpected. So what are your thoughts on why the purchased theme failed?

    I think it’s most likely you’re doing it wrong because if there were a packaging problem on Envato, it would certainly be widespread.

    See https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/202821510 and if the problems continue please contact Envato support.

    As it turns out you are absolutely correct! It’s the nub in me. For all other nubs that may have this issue, I am going to post and close this issue because I have learned a lot in the past 48 hours.

    !. The template was an HTML template and worked fine when I learned how to use it.
    2. Although I love WordPress there are some advantages to HTML.
    3. It does require some knowledge to try and convert an HTML landing page to WordPress.
    4. Once you learn a few things in HTML it is really not code heavy as one may think and better not to try and convert. Wish I had thought about that 24 hours ago.

    I know I have a lot to learn in the web and design arena but for this project, I think I initially was not asking the right questions.
