 * The theme was isntalled before until it decided to break for no reason. So now
   I get the message:
 * The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
 * How can I fix this?

 * Try installing it again. There are some issues and WP won’t give you the whole
   theme package for some reason.

 * Have you tried clearing and deactivating your caching plugin while making changes?
   And deactivating any other plugins?
 * Try installing another theme – do you have the same issue?

 * [@omgsounique](https://wordpress.org/support/users/omgsounique/) – If you download
   it manually from the theme page, what’s the archive size?
 * [@wpyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) – The issue is with our
   theme, although not with the theme itself. It’s 3.5 Mb but for some reason some
   people are only able to download/update about 400Kb. Seems to happen randomly.
   And we don’t know who to talk to about this.
 * EDIT: just tried it again now. I clicked on Download and got a 419KB archive,
   clicked again on Download and got the full 3.5MB archive.

 * Got it. I disabled plugins then downloaded it and re activated only the plugins
   needed for the theme and cache
