Fail to install upload theme

Either the .zip file is corrupt, didn’t upload properly, or you don’t have sufficient space on your server to hold hold and unzip it.

Try unzipping locally then uploading the resulting directory to wp-content/themes on your server using FTP.

Hi,

Thanks for your advice.

The unzip .gif file can be viewed locally without problem.

Upload the file including the directory to wp-content/themes using FillZila. Browsed it on WordPress Appearance/Themes;

Broken Themes
The following themes are installed but incomplete.
Name Description
Stock_Photo Stylesheet is missing.

Appearance/Themes
Still the same

You’re probably uploading the MAIN zip file for a commercial theme. Usually, those have an INNER zip file that has the actual theme. That’s what you need to upload.

Tried again.

and upload it to Appearance/Themes

still the same

Installing Theme from uploaded file: Breviter-768×439.png

Unpacking the package…

The package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature

What theme and from where did you download it?

Hi,

I got it done. I suppose the previous file being corrupted.

Again I download a theme file from;
FabThemes
https://www.fabthemes.com/

Unzip it;

404.php       footer.php     header.php  js              search.php   style.css
archive.php   functions      images      page.php        sidebar.php
comments.php  functions.php  index.php   screenshot.png  single.php

upload the files including its directory to wp-content/themes/ and activate it. Done.

I found following usual link on Internet;
How to upload theme to WordPress
https://www.templatemonster.com/help/how-to-upload-theme-to-wordpress.html

My next attempt shall be “how to create my own themes”. If I can’t find relevant documents on Internet, I will start a new posting

Thanks again for your advice

Hi Steven Stern,

I have a further question.

Just found there are images upload automatically to wp-content/uploads/2019/2/. They are used by the theme upload.

I wonder how they came? They are not found on the extracted folder?

Can you shed me some light?

Thanks

this may be demo content installed by your theme.

I’m surprised.

Some themes after activated are without picture as shown on their icon on Appearance-> Themes
with only Hello World!/Test displayed ??? Both upload and installed themes the same.

Examples:
Twenty Sixteen – Hello World! without picture
Twenty Seventeen – Test + picture
