Just to share my experience with everyone. After FTPing the theme to my theme folder I too got a blank page on both the preview and after I activated which led me to delete and re-install a number of times.

Upon realizing the theme wasn't broken and despite the blank screen, I proceeded to install the dummy info and the Option Tree plug-in and files by following the video. Just remember to open the 'option-tree-paste' file in Notepad and copy the text.

Upon refresh, the theme instantly appeared. The top navigation was mis-aligned and vertical so I then went to menus and created a new top menu and then added the pages. The rest is just a matter of configuring.

Hope this helps.

Blank pages could mean any number of things and often have to do with hosting or plugins. Please review these articles: http://tinyurl.com/4nwqqwy

Thanks -- it installs now, however the PREVIEW shows a blank page, and when I activate it, it also shows a blank page...

I can send the link in an email if you think that will help resolve this..

Hello -- I have been trying to install the theme I just bought from ThemeForest in wordpress and I keep getting these error messages:

-------------

Unpacking the package...
Installing the theme...
Theme installed successfully.

WARNING: fopen(/home/user/mysite.com/directory/wp-content/themes/wordpress university theme/style.css) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/user/mysite.com/directory/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4165

Then when I click ACTIVATE I get:

Can you please help??
