Downloaded one of the “free” wordpress offerings. Was excited to rebuild a website and would have purchased the extended license if I liked it.
It would not install. Tried many work arounds but no go. Sent an inquiry to the creator of the wordpress theme. He responded that too bad, you need to purchase the license before they will provide any support. They were rude and said they do not support the themes offered by Envato that are free. Looked up the problem with Google and there were many who could not install the theme.
How does this work? Thank you.
The theme in question was Seargin Business Consulting. It was missing some components and there was no work around…
Word-around is to purchase a copy. There’s a demo page on the item details, you can decide if you like it or not after checking it, then you can get a copy from ThemeForest ( not sure where you have downloaded the free version )
If you still have issues, author would be helping you.
This was one of the Free Monthly Themes Envato offers with the 6 month period. I did reach out to the author who refused to give me a solution.
There’s no support with free files.
What is the actual problem when you try to install it?
The following errors were found :
- The theme file uploaded is invalid because the zip file should have the theme slug folder
You are trying to install the wrong folder.
Almost certainly that is the folder with the theme and other files like documentation in it.
Extract that and there is probably a theme folder inside.
Yes, that did not work either. I do appreciate your help. Thank you.
I will keep trying to play with it.
