Question 1: How to fix “The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet”?
Did you experience an error message: “The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet” when you try to upload or activate our WordPress theme? This issue is very common especially if you are new to WordPress themes.
The error message does not mean that the theme is broken, it simply means the theme has been uploaded in a wrong way. To fix the issue, here are the steps:

- If you want to integrate WordPress site into the root of your domain (e.g. http://example.com/), upload all the files into the root directory of your web server.

Step 3 Run the WordPress installation process by accessing the following URL in a web browser:
- If you install WordPress site in the root directory, you should visit: http://example.com/

Step 4 Follow the whole process and your WordPress site is ready with sample data.
