Can't install

Getting this when I try to install this on my WordPress:

Installing Theme from uploaded file: themeforest-9512331-newsmag-news-magazine-newspaper (1).zip
Unpacking the package…

Installing the theme…

The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.

Theme install failed.

How do I fix this?

You don’t upload the straight download from Envato. You need to extract the zip folder then upload the Newsmag zip. You are getting that error for uploading all of the whole documents and everything in the download not just the theme. You just need to install the theme only zip. So you unzip or winrar or 7zip to extract the download file and then upload the theme.

If you are doing this through the dashboard via theme upload, then above is the way.

If you are doing it via ftp then you unzip the download and then unzip the theme and then upload via ftp unzipped theme folder in the wp-content/themes/theme_folder here unzipped. After that then go to dashboard and activate it.
