A common issue when installing WordPress themes is receiving the error message:
“The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.”
This usually happens if you upload the wrong file. When downloading your theme, you generally have two options:
-
Installable WordPress Theme file only (usually a single zip file, e.g., wprentals.zip).
-
All files and documentation (a full zip folder containing the theme, documentation, licenses, etc.). In this case, you must extract the folder and locate the actual installable theme zip file inside.
