I’ve recently purchased the Focus theme and I don’t know how to install the theme using the inbuilt WordPress installer. When I upload the theme it says that the style.css file is missing. Please reply me with the wordpress installation steps.

To install the theme using WordPress installer, you need to use dw_focus_theme.zip file.

1. From your WordPress dashboard, navigate to the Appearance > Themes menu.
2. Click on the Install Themes button.
3. Click on the Upload link

5. Click the Install Now button and WordPress will attempt to install the theme.

6. WordPress will display the status of the install and present you with some options. Click the Activate link to set the newly installed theme as your site theme.

Hi Dominic,

If I already have a WP theme installed, would that prohibit the 2nd step “2. Click on the Install Themes button.” step from working? As I don’t seem to have that option on my page.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated! I’d love to use your Minion theme 🙂
Cheers,

Step 1: Click on the link for the Quickstart package and wait when the files will be downloaded

Step 2 : Then, unpack the downloaded ZIP package
