I just upgraded a site with v1.5.3 without any problems. * [davidplusworld](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidplusworld/) * (@davidplusworld) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-broken-11/#post-5836024) * It just happened to one of my sites too (the other ones are fine) * [Jocelyn41](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jocelyn41/) * (@jocelyn41) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-broken-11/#post-5836057) * I installed v1.5.3 tonight, and, like chpalatinus, I got this error message: * “The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the index.php file. * Theme install failed.” * I’ve uninstalled and cannot reinstall, no matter what I try. * [bdbrown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdbrown/) * (@bdbrown) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-broken-11/#post-5836060) * Have you tried downloading the theme zip file to your local computer, then installing from there? * [Alexander Agnarson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alxmedia/) * (@alxmedia) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-broken-11/#post-5836068) * > It just happened to one of my sites too (the other ones are fine) * Did you update the other sites and it worked fine for them? * When downloading the zip of the theme the index.php is in there and it should be fine. * Just tested installing on my test site from dashboard, worked fine as well. * [toscanello](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toscanello/) * (@toscanello) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-broken-11/#post-5836078) * Same, I updated to 1.5.3 but the fronted didn’t show and I got the message: “ Theme corrupted”. I solved resuming the last website backup with the previous version. I don’t want to update Hueman for a while… I spent €24 just for this. Anyway, the theme is one of my favourite. Hope for a tested update soon. * [davidplusworld](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidplusworld/) * (@davidplusworld) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-broken-11/#post-5836083) * [@alexander](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexander/) : Yes, I updated my other sites, and they work fine. The site I have issues with just became a white screen. I still can access the dashboard. First I thought it came from a plugin, so I disabled them all, then when I checked if the website worked with disabled plugins, it worked, but it had reverted to the default theme. I clicked on “themes” and Hueman was deactivated. When I tried to reactivate it, there was an error message saying that theme wasn’t installed or something like that. * I’m gonna try reinstalling it now and see what happens. * On a side note, would it be possible to have a changelog here one day, when I update, I never know what changes are happening. I know there is one on your website, but it doesn’t match the version of the theme that’s here on wordpress. * [davidplusworld](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidplusworld/) * (@davidplusworld) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-broken-11/#post-5836084) * OK, I reinstalled it, and everything seems to be working fine (and my settings are not gone). * I still don’t understand what happened. * [toscanello](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toscanello/) * (@toscanello) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-broken-11/#post-5836085) * The same happened @ davidplusworld. * > The site I have issues with just became a white screen. > I still can access > the dashboard.

But I’ll upload 1.5.4 as soon as I can to fix potential issues. * [Li-An](https://wordpress.org/support/users/li-an/) * (@li-an) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-broken-11/#post-5836124) * I posted a similar issue. If I try to update the theme, some files are missing and I need to udate manually by FTP. * [raphaefeli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raphaefeli/) * (@raphaefeli) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-broken-11/#post-5836160) * are the updates being pushed automatically? I haven’t updated manually and now my site is also broken and I get the error message on the back end. * [bdbrown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdbrown/) * (@bdbrown) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-broken-11/#post-5836186) * WP does not push theme updates automatically. You can configure automatic updates using a plugin like [this one](https://wordpress.org/plugins/automatic-updater/), or by configuring your wp-config.php manually as discussed in [this Codex article.](http://codex.wordpress.org/Configuring_Automatic_Background_Updates) Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total) The topic ‘Theme broken’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/themes.svn.wordpress.org/hueman/3.7.27/screenshot.png) * Hueman * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/hueman/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/hueman/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/hueman/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/hueman/reviews/) * 13 replies * 8 participants * Last reply from: [bdbrown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdbrown/) * Last activity: [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-broken-11/#post-5836186) * Status: not resolved
