Missing style sheet error when installing the theme
A common issue that can occur with users new to installing WordPress themes is a "Broken theme and/or stylesheets missing” error message being displayed when trying to upload or activate the theme. This error message does not mean that the theme you have purchased is broken, it simply means it has been uploaded incorrectly. Luckily, there is a very easy fix.
I have trouble installing this theme.
If you see similar error:
Unpacking the package…
Installing the theme…
The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Theme install failed.
then you are trying to upload whole file downloaded from ThemeForest. You have to unzip downloaded file -> compress WildCommunity folder to ZIP format and upload. Inside the Help folder you’ll find a documentation – make a double click on the index.html.
I installed some BuddyPress extension and layout is totally corrupted.
If some plugin (extension) uses own page templates, then you should find a plugin’s page template (most extensions have 1-3 page templates and usually they are inside “templates” folder – each page template contains get_header(‘buddypress’) on the top) and change its HTML structure.
HTML structure you can see here: http://www.demo1.diaboliquedesign.com/3/HTMLstructure.txt
You have to paste 2 blocks of HTML code, here is an example before changes and after changes – http://www.demo1.diaboliquedesign.com/3/extensions.txt
