Installing theme from uploaded file: gp-premium-1.12.2.zip
Unpacking the package…
Installing the theme…
The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Theme installation failed.
Any ideas
Hi James, The premium zip file is a plugin that adds functionality to the theme.
So you add it as a new plugin rather than a theme.
Then you will be fine!
HTH, Dave
Thanks saw that. I though I was buying a theme. Looks like Ive bough a complicated software program and I have to build my own!
You will find that way of adding extra functionality to a theme is very common - once installed that is it, nothing more to do - enter your registration code and updates will be allowed.

So this is for adding functionality to other themes? Its not a theme.
The GeneratePress theme is free to download, install and use.
By paying for the premium add on you are getting the extra features.
It's as simple as that! Nothing to do with other themes, just GeneratePress.
What you get extra is explained on this page:

Hi there,
this article explains the issue:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/missing-style-css/
GeneratePress is the free theme that is available on the WordPress repository.
GeneratePress Premium is a plugin that extends the features of ( and only of ) the free GeneratePress theme.
Thanks David for your input.
