style.css stylesheet missing - couldn´t install
7 replies · Started by Jan on August 5, 2018
Hi, bought Premium a couple of minutes ago but couldn´t install it.
Got this error, "The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Theme installation failed."
I can see on the forum that this seems to be a very common problem.
Not a good start using your theme.
Anybody here to help?

This should help:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/missing-style-css/
Our documentation has lots of answers for common questions like this :)
Oops, didn´t notice, it shall not be installed as a new theme - it´s a plugin.
Well, let´s see how that works. No problems installing that.
Awesome!
Sorry for being a little trigger happy. But as I can see this "problem" seems to come up now and then - my question to you is - how can you prevent this before it happens?
Unfortunately there's not much we can do but make sure documentation and instructions are as clear as possible.
It would be nice if WordPress made the error message a little more clear as well.
ok, got it.
But it could have been shown in the first video here,

That's more of a promotional video. However, we could make it a little more clear within the installation instructions: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/installing-gp-premium/
We'll take a look :)
Thanks!
