Uploading Wordpress Theme

Hi All,

I just downloaded and purchased the Good News Theme which looks great! Problem is, how I go about uploading it!

I encountered the whole “failed theme activation due to no stylesheet” error message and so I unzipped the package and found the actual theme and tried again to upload it! This time I get the error message “Destination folder already exists. /data/26/2/28/96/2680259/user/2943231/htdocs/WordPress/wp-content/themes/goodnews/”! What’s the issue and how can I resolve it??

Thanks for taking the time to help me!

Hi, Best bet is to clear the database contents using “MyPHPAdmin” – reinstall WP and make sure you add the theme via “Theme upload” in the dashboard rather than dropping it in the “Themes” folder that you upload via ftp. This should solve it but is an issue if you are transferring themes – if this is a fresh start site then hopefully will work. Any questions post it. Good luck. p.s when you unzip the download from here have a look in the theme files for the stylesheet files are there (I am sure they will be)- look for something like style.css, and if not contact the author. Which theme is it?
