Installing a Theme Problem

  • I Hello. I have been trying to figure out how to install a new theme to my blog. I follow a tutorial but for some reason when I try to install the iNove theme it comes up as Broken, Missing Template. I use HostGator and Filezila to install the theme on my site, https://TommyDiPietro.com. I don’t know if during the setup of the blog I may of did something wrong or if anyone has had any situations like this. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

  • Download the iNove zip file to your local machine. Use 7-zip 7zip.org to extract the files. Upload that extracted folder to the wp-content/themes folder.

    This is the message that comes up on Filezila
    Broken Themes
    The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
    Name Description
    Stylesheet is missing.

    Assuming you can download the iNove zip to your local machine…in your admin visit Appearances, Add new, click on the Upload tab, click on the Browse button, select that iNove zip, click on Install now.

    I tried it and this is the message that I got on my admin page:
    Installing Theme from uploaded file: inove.1.4.6.zip
    Unpacking the package.

    Incompatible archive PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature

    Okay then, deactivate plugins and see if you can do that again. Also make sure you have enough free disk space in your hosting account.

    If that doesn’t work follow the direction in adding a theme in Using Themes to install that theme.

    Or try this plugin:

    That theme (iNove 1.4.6) installed fine for me.
