It literally gets stuck there for hours.
All it says is:
“Unpacking the package …
Installing the theme from …
Unpacking the package …”
And nothing happens. Not even an error or so. The theme was freshly bought last like 10 hrs ago and I try installing it ever since but nothing happens except for as stated above.
I also tried unpacking and repacking under just the name “Newspaper.zip”, to no avail.
Plz help! $59 is alot of money for a theme that is of no use. :/
Thanks in advance!
So I tried via ftp and server now:
1st try: I only unzipped the mainfolder, left the newspaper.zip untouched
>result: error came up and didn’t show up in wordpress.
2nd try: Unzipped the newspaper.zip too but left all the other zips in other subfolders untouches
>result: no error at upload and shows up in wordpress, BUT: does not unzipping the other zip-folders affect the full functionality of the theme, since usually all folders have to be unzipped in ftp?
Very important if you could help! Thx in advance!
Are you trying to install on wordpress.com or a self hosted wordpress.org install of WP on a hosting account?
Basically, you need to unzip the single newspaper.zip file, which is either downloadable by itself, or inside the Newspaper-tf ‘all files’ folder. Don’t try to upload the tf folder, won’t ever work. Ever.
Unzip the Newspaper.zip folder, on your PC/Mac, inside a project folder where you plan to keep backups, work copies, modifications; notes to self, etc.
then FTP up the Newspaper folder *only* to your website
siteroot/wp-content/themes/[goes here]
Or, if your hosting account (not on wordpress.com) has enough resources and correct permissions, you can upload the single newspaper.zip file (*not* the tf folder!!!!) via the WordPress install theme panel.

In my 2nd post I wrote where I was at already and asked another important question. Sadly that one was completely ignored, but I still need answer on that!
And as far as I see, only uploading the Newspaper folder would make me miss out on all the other important stuff I actually need for the site and why I bought the theme: the demos, plugins etc. There’s a reason they are in the main zip-file.
Ps. WordPress.org is what I use ofc.
Whatever. I dont work here. Read the how to install instructions and do it properly and it works.
You do not upload the tf folder to server. Period.
Good luck!
