 * My first time using a theme so I don’t have any experience to compare it to. 
   I did contact them last night and they thought it was an issue with my server.

 * Hey Wpyogi,
 * when I do that I get this error message “The following files do not have write
   permissions. Please update the write permissions for these files, they are required
   for the Theme Options.
    /wp-content/themes/bloc/assets/css/app.css /wp-content/
   themes/bloc/assets/css/alleycat.css”
 * I have specifically gone into these files and changed permissions yet this messages
   persists.

 * Thank you for that suggestion Rajesh. I followed through with all the steps and
   opened up permissions but is still not uploading.
 * When I try to upload the theme it is asking for my FTP connection information
   and I am not using FTP but Xampp. Any thoughts?
 * thanks again

 * I understand I need to make it writable. What are the steps to do that?
 * Thank you
