# Theme Install Failed

 * I’m trying to install a new theme and it’s failing. But the error is erroneous
   as I checked the folder that I zipped and the style.css stylesheet is in there.
   Here’s the exact message:
    “The package could not be installed. The theme is 
   missing the style.css stylesheet. Theme install failed.” Does anyone have any
   tips? thanks!

 * You need to get support from the vendor.
