Known Problems When Installing the Theme<\/h3>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>The &#8220;Broken theme and\/or style stylesheets missing&#8221; error is most common when you install or active a new theme.<\/strong><br \/>\nHowever this problem doesn&#8217;t mean that the theme was actually broken or the so important part is missing. It would rather \u00a0to mean that the theme was just uploaded to the server incorrectly and missing stylesheets are not missing but got to the wrong folder when downloading and unzipping.<br \/>\nHere are some tips how to fix that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>After downloading and unzipping open the final theme folder. Inside there will be the actual theme folder. It is where the &#8220;style.css&#8221; file is.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>You must upload only the actual theme folder to your wordpress host. Our advice is to double check.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Enter your WordPress admin panel and active your new theme.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Problems with uploading via WP admin panel due Upload limit<\/strong>.<br \/>\nThis problem is very popular when you install a wordpress theme and upload file on the computer. The most common is about 8 MB which is more or less enough. But uploading some media files like audio and video may become a problem with for example 2 MB upload limit.<br \/>\nWe give some tips so that you can solve this problem:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Through functions.php file:\u00a0You may add the below mentioned code in the functions.php file of your theme<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"alert_danger\">@ini_set(&#8216;upload_max_size&#8217;,&#8217;64M&#8217; );<br \/>\n@ini_set(&#8216;post_max_size&#8217;,&#8217;64M&#8217; );<br \/>\n@ini_set(&#8216;max_execution_time&#8217;,&#8217;300&#8242; );<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Through PHP.INI file: If you can see the php.ini file then change parameters or add:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"alert_danger\">upload_ max-filesize=64M<br \/>\npost_max_size=64M<br \/>\nmax_execution_time=300<br \/>\nIn case that tips does not work with 64MB, try it with 10MB<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Through .htaccess method : You can add the following code in the existing or new htaccess file:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"alert_danger\">php_value upload _max_filesize 64M<br \/>\nphp_value post_max_size 64M<br \/>\nphp_value max_execution_time 300<br \/>\nphp_value max_input_time 300<\/div>\n<p>To sum up, WordPress is very easy to install, however, we would like to share this blog for all people to read.
