Steps to solve the missing stylesheet error while installing a WordPress Theme.


A common issue that can occur with users new to installing WordPress themes is a "Broken theme and/or stylesheets missing” error message being displayed when trying to upload or activate the theme. This error message does not mean that the theme you have purchased is broken, it simply means it has been uploaded incorrectly. 


Luckily, there is a very easy fix,

1. Once you download the theme from WooGang, and it shows the above error, head back to the folder on your computer where you have downloaded the theme zip.

2. Now extract the zip to your local machine, and you will see there are multiple files available in the zip.

3. Upload the correct theme zip to your WordPress installation and you should now be able to install the theme without any issues.
