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.
