One more note to my previous post. Here is the exact wording of the error message

Unpacking the package…
Installing the theme…
The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Theme installation failed.

Hi there. A post that was in your forum from 7 years ago was all I could find related to this issue. The issue is that WP cannot find the style.css file thus 'installation fails'. What I installed was the entire zip folder. Your solution from 7 years ago was to simply import the theme folder itself and nothing else. Two problems with this:

- WP oddly enough allows me to import the zip file but NOT the Producer theme folder within the zip folder. Frustrating.

- there is no specific file called style.css in that Producer folder. However, there are two style files that appear to be CSS documentation files. One is called 'style', the other 'style_light'. Neither have .css after them. Perhaps that is why install fails

I was hoping to finish this site up this weekend. Can you give me a solution? Your reply from 7 years ago was that there wasn't much you could do other than follow steps that you outlined (and which I followed...namely to just import the theme folder). Or search around youtube until you find some drunken fool giving you the wrong answers.

You gotta help me or my wife will be nagging me all weekend.

Thanks so much
