uploading themes

  • Hello: I’m new to WordPress. I purchased the membership at Elegant Themes with the hope of accessing some of those templates to build websites for two not-for-profits that I am associated with. I have no knowledge of CSS or HTML or whatever the programming language is. But I am having serious trouble with uploading themes. This is the message I get each time:
    Can’t unpack zip-file: PCLZIP_ERR_MISSING_FILE (-4) : Missing archive file ”

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance,

    Marvin

  • You should contact Elegant Themes for support since you gave them money for the theme, but this type of error is usually caused by not uploading the correct .zip file – check inside the file you downloaded and see if there is a theme specific zip in there.

    Please don’t use all-caps, it comes across like yelling.

    Can you manually install that theme via FTP? Normally errors like that are a file/directory permission issue on your web server.
