How to fix "Broken Theme/Stylesheet Missing WordPress" Theme Issues

@SlowClay a theme MUST include a style.css file in the root theme folder to be a working theme. There is absolutely zero chance that you will purchase a theme here on ThemeForest that doesn’t include a stylesheet. If you are getting the “stylesheet missing” error, you are doing something wrong and there could be 2 very probable reasons:

  1. You are trying to install an HTML template and not a WordPress theme (ThemeForest doesn’t only sell WordPress themes)

  2. If you are 100% confident you are installing a WP theme, you may be uploading the wrong .zip file (maybe you are trying to upload the whole download package including documentation, psd files etc, instead of the theme itself).

Good luck!

Hi, what if there is no Installable wordpress file in the dropdown list? thanks

Then you probably have not bought a WordPress theme. What item was it?

learnplus-learning-management-application

If you mean this https://themeforest.net/item/learnplus-learning-management-application/15287372 then it’s not a WordPress them and will not be usable using WordPress

so theres no chance I can use it?

Not with WordPress no - you could still use it as it is intended but will need to know how to set it all up - that’s an admin template so you need to have a website for it to manage.

i have a website but run in wordpress…

thank you,

but I still have a question, how about the pages layouts and what I have done changes of the visual composer it will be effected or not? can I do this step without any worries?

best regards,

I am unable to get any solution. Tried all the ways but the error is still there :frowning:
Can anyone check http://envatomarket.cmail19.com/t/i-l-odkeiy-ojhjluhhu-h/

As per the response here WHERE the HELL is Getting Help that is not a WordPress theme.

I bought 2 wordpress themes and in both cases I get:

“Das Paket konnte nicht installiert werden. Dem Theme fehlt das Stylesheet style.css.”

which is the german version of the missing style error.

What to do???

Either:

  1. it’s not a WP theme

  2. you are trying to upload the wrong folder

  3. try this https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/202821510-Theme-is-missing-the-style-css-stylesheet-error

Just got the error with x the theme which i downloaded all files including documentation and extracted the x.zip from it and then uploaded as explained in the link you provide but the error came anyway.
