 * Hi guys, just bought BeTheme from the Muffin Group to update an old site that
   was running php 5.5 to php 7.0.
 * Trying to install the theme and got this error. Any ideas?
 * “Installing the theme…
 * The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
 * Theme installation failed.”
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ftheme-installation-failed-9%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi, if you unzip the package you have downloaded of the BeTheme theme, can you
   see the style.css file? sometime they package the actual theme within a folder
   in the downloaded package, so what you have uploaded was not the actual theme
   zip.

 * Thank you that was it!
 * I unzipped, found the theme file and tried again.
 * It now says:
 * “””
    Unpacking the package…
 * Installing the theme…
 * Destination folder already exists. /app/public/wp-content/themes/betheme/
 * Theme installation failed.
    “””
 * Should I delete the folder, or is there a way to update this?

 * no, please delete the old folder and upload the new theme, because it did unzip
   the first time so it did create the folder with that name, so it is safe to delete
   it and upload the new one.
