[Support request] Need help installing GP Premium on site that is already running GP free version.

[David]

When I tried to install GP Premium on site that already has GP free version 2.0.2. I tried uploading the zip file I downloaded to “themes” under “appearance.” Then I got a message saying “The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.”

Additional info:
There is a child theme issue on the site, and I saw a message that said something to the effect of “”this site doesn’t have parent theme (Generate Press) installed.

What should I do to get GP Premium installed?

Any advice appreciated!
Thanks,
David

HI I am having trouble installing premium and getting the following:
The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.

Theme installation failed.
Using Chrome/Mac

I found a 4-year-old thread about this issue but did not see any response on how to resolve. I did follow the install directions you linked to. Thanks!

Nevermind, just realized its to install via plugin area. Thanks!
