WordPress installations failed

[Colton Kats]

Hey guys,

I just bought your theme for my site ‘kiekenproductions.com’. I tried installing it in wordpress by uploading the .zip-file (as per the instructions) but it can’t install the theme, stating it doesn’t have a style.css stylesheet.

Can you guys help me out? How do I get Lavish Pro operational?

Cheers,
Colton

Thanks, that worked perfectly as you said. One follow-up question:
I’ve noticed there’s two themes, a regular one and a ‘child’ theme. What exactly is the difference? I’ve installed both and activated the child theme because my gut tells me that’s the smart thing to do, but I’m not sure.

Cheers,
Colton

Your instincts works like a charm, of course working on child theme is smarter move. Child theme is a different theme which inherit functionality and styling from its parent theme. The main purpose of using child theme is to
modify existing themes.

Here is the more details about child theme , please go through this.

Let us know if you have any question on this.

Thanks

Simple suggestion. It would help if in either the Readme.txt file, or the email received after purchase, there was a brief explanation on unzipping the ZIP file first and then pointing WordPress at the folder to upload since in most cases there is a master template and a child template. That would cut the frustration of receiving the style.css dialog.

Many thanks Steve for your suggestion. We will keep this on mind and will implement on near future.

Thanks
