I have followed every instruction, and this is the message that I receive when I attempt to upload the file:
Unpacking the package…
Installing the theme…
Destination folder already exists. /home3/wisejour/public_html/wp-content/themes/wp-diary-pro/
Theme installation failed.
I am at a loss and extremely frustrated.

]]>I set up this account with WordPress a few hours ago, but I don’t see why I wouldn’t be allowed to upload a theme? I have a premium account.
]]>new to wordpress. i’ve successfully uploaded and activated several themes to use for my site. however, i am only able to do this with themes that come in the format of a .zip file….it seems some do, some do not.
as is the case with the current theme i am interested in: deCente
https://themeshift.com/theme/decente/
i’ve tried googling & searching the forums here for advice…and i cannot find what i need. perhaps i do not know how to ask the question i am asking, of course.
so, how can i install/upload a theme that does not come in a .zip file? i am happy to provide lots of other info about how this particular theme is downloading to my computer, just ask!
im on a macbook air OS X mountain lion.
thanks =) jennifer
]]>Everytime I upload the zipfile for Simple Catch Pro to my wordpress account, it gives me this error message:
“Unpacking the package…
Installing the theme…
The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Theme install failed.”
I have checked and the stylesheet style.css” is included in the folder.
What needs to be done here?
Thank you.
The theme I am trying to upload is called Solid WP – Corpotate/Business WordPress Theme and can be found here: https://themeforest.net/item/solid-wp-corporate-business-wordpress-theme/308585?WT.ac=search_thumb&WT.seg_1=search_thumb&WT.z_author=bitpub
When I downloaded the theme, it appeared in my Downloads folder in a folder file, not a zip file. So I right clicked and compressed the file into a zip file. When I upload the file to wordpress, I receive this message:
“Unpacking the package…
Installing the theme…
The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Theme install failed.”
I do not know what to do resolve this and am hoping someone here may be able to discern between simple newbie error and complicated error and/or provide a step to take to try and resolve this problem.
Also, I do not know what version of WordPress I am using, but I signed up in the last month so I assume this means I am using the latest version.
Thanks in advance for your help and advice!

I can upload stuff by ftp, but that doesn’t solve this. Any help appreciated.
