 * I downloaded this theme – [http://embahblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/avenue-wordpress-magazine-theme.html](http://embahblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/avenue-wordpress-magazine-theme.html)
 * I got a website and downloaded an FTP cliet known as Filezilla. I went on to 
   upload this theme onto the wordpress/themes/ folder under its new name aveune.
 * But noticed that it never uploads in return I usually get this message
 * “Broken Themes
    The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must
   have a stylesheet and a template. Name: avenue Description: Template is missing.”
 * Now I noticed that I managed to get it uploaded BUT now I get these messages,
 * “PHP Error Message
 * Warning: include_once(shortcodes.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open
   stream: No such file or directory in /home/a6348061/public_html/wp-content/themes/
   Avenue/functions.php on line 76
 * Free Web Hosting
 * PHP Error Message
 * Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘shortcodes.php’ for
   inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/a6348061/
   public_html/wp-content/themes/Avenue/functions.php on line 76
 * Free Web Hosting “
 * So whats going on and how can I get this fixed and working 100%? Please help!

 * The theme you are trying to use is a commercial one. The version you are trying
   to use is most likely a pirated version.

 * Looks your theme is files are missing and as this is commercial theme try to 
   contact theme developer via their site.
