Broken Theme – “Stylesheet is Missing” – HELP!

    Hi All,

    Total WP newbie here, desperate for help. Warning: I are blonde! ?? (So I need blonde-proof instructions, please.)

    I just created my first WP Blog (https://www.best-data-online.com) and after spending about an hour viewing various themes, found one I REALLY like – “Binary Blue.”

    I uploaded it to my wp-content/themes folder (I’m installing through cPanel), and got this error message when I went to select it from my WP Dashboard:

    “The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

    “BinaryBlue — Stylesheet is missing.”

    I checked my file manager… I DO see stylesheets (that’s the style.css and other .css stuff, right?) in the folder. But they’re in a folder within a folder (i.e., /public_html/wp-content/themes/BinaryBlue/wp-binary-blue-101). Does that matter?

    The instructions that came with this theme say:

    “IMPORTANT!!!! Make sure you have set up your wordpress installation correctly, especially the WPLANG! This variable MUST have a valid value like EN_US, ZH_CN, ES_ES and so on, otherwise it may happen that your wordpress installation will produce errors like the well-known Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: cachedfilereader in /some/directory/structure/here/wp-includes/wp-l10n.php on line 72.

    “It is ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY for the Binary Blue theme to have a valid locale definition in your wp-config.php, as the theme is fully and therefore depends on a correct setup! Because this is the most commonly known issue with localized themes and plugins, I have now – finally – implemented a check routine that will look whether the WPLANG is set with a non-empty value, and if this check fails, the complete theme will fall back to its native German language.”

    I have NO IDEA what any of that means. I don’t know if the warning has anything to do with the missing stylesheet… doesn’t seem to.

    Can anyone help me out with this? Or should I just try another theme and see what happens? It took me a long time to pick this one out, and I REALLY like it… but if it ain’t gonna work, I might as well ditch it and try something else.

    But before I did that, I thought I better check to see if someone could tell me what I did wrong (so I don’t do that same thing with every other theme I try).

    Thanks in advance for your help!

  • you would not have it a folder w/in a folder so instead of it being

    public_html/wp-content/themes/BinaryBlue/wp-binary-blue-101

    it would be

    public_html/wp-content/themes/wp-binary-blue-101

    Hey, thanks for the quick reply. That DID fix the error and I was able to load the theme… but it’s in German!

    Re-reading the above instructions (above) from the theme creator, I can’t find any WPLANG file; I checked the wp-config.php file, which says, in part:

    <
    // Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
    // chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
    // For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’
    // to enable German language support.
    define (‘WPLANG’, ”);

    /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

    define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
    require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
    ?>

    Ummm… sheesh, this is all Greek to me…

    There’s no “languages” file in the WP-Includes folder. What is a “MO” or “de.mo” file and where can I find one to install?

    I feel like such an idiot.

    More help please?

    I’m getting closer! ??

    I’ve edited my config file, created a “languages” folder… now all I gotta do (I think) is find the .mo file for English. The list of .mo files provided with the help at www.remarpro.com does not include English.

    So I need to find a en.mo file somewhere, then upload it to my “languages” folder… right?

    Am I getting warm? Anyone got a en.mo file they can lend me? ??

    THANK YOU! Here’s a big virtual KISS (on the cheek), Spencerp!

    I got the theme working, and in English! “Whoo-Hoo!”

    Thanks again!
